What inspectors wrote

January 8, 2018 — Routine inspection, USDA 42-A-0783

36 dogs recorded (33 adults · 3 puppies).

  • Basset Hound with curled nails

    Alice, a 9 year old black, white, and brown female Bassett Hound (had two microchip #'s, microchip #'s 4B7F2B3812 & 4A4A377639) had exceptionally long nails that were curling on all four paws. The worst nail on the four paws was the left front dew claw which had curled to the point that it was only approximately a quarter of an inch away from penetrating the pad. I estimate that if this nail is not trimmed, it will penetrate the pad within the next week or two. Long untrimmed nails can be uncomfortable and sometimes even painful for the dogs. If the nails penetrate the pad, it can become infected causing further complications. The dog's nails must be trimmed and should be done so on a regular basis from here on out so as to prevent them from curling. Correct by 1/9/18.

  • Outdoor housing not sanitized every 2 weeks

    The licensee does not sanitize the outdoor housing floors, dog houses or caging for 30 adult dogs every 2 weeks. The licensee states sanitizing is done approximately two times per year. Failure to sanitize enclosures may increase the risk of disease hazards towards the dogs. Used primary enclosures and food and water receptacles for dogs must be sanitized at least once every 2 weeks and more often if necessary to prevent an accumulation of dirt, debris, food waste, excreta, and other disease hazards. Hard surfaces must be sanitized using one of the following methods: live steam under pressure or washing with hot water (at least 180° F) and soap or detergent. The licensee must clean and sanitize the primary enclosures and ensure that all aspects of the enclosure are maintained in a clean and sanitized condition in order to support the health of the dogs. To be corrected by: 8-November-2023
