Eli B Miller – Homestead Puppies

The last recorded date for the annual rabies vaccination for 43 dogs was on 3/6/22. Annual rabies vaccinations are important for the health of the animals. The licensee must ensure that all dogs are receiving vaccinations for contagious and/or deadly diseases of dogs (including rabies, parvovirus, and distemper) and sampling and treatment of parasites and other pests (including fleas, worms, coccidia, giardia, and heartworm) in accordance with a schedule approved by the attending veterinarian. Correct by 5/20/23.

The facility is not following the Program of Vet Care (PVC). The PVC prescribes for 10% of the adult dog population to have fecal sample testing yearly, and 5% of the total puppy litter numbers twice yearly, as well as heartworm tests to be performed on adult dogs yearly. The facility had no record of these tests performed since November 2023. The inspector called the office of the Attending Veterinarian to confirm if testing had been performed and it was not. Internal parasites, which are screened for by fecal and heartworm testing, can cause illness, stress, and discomfort to animals if present in the body. Correct by ensuring the facility follows the PVC for sampling and treatment of parasites such as worms, coccidia, giardia, and heartworm, in accordance with a schedule approved by the AV.

The licensee completed corrective measures for dogs with dental disease but lacked documentation. The representative corrected this issue during the inspection. Corrected on: 4/30/2026
