One Boston Terrier Microchip #0A02184332 has a cloudy film over its left eye and the fur around the eye is wet. The licensee is currently treating the eye with a Neomycin cream under the guidance of his attending veterinarian, however there are no written instructions from the attending veterinarian which states directions of use, methods, dosages, length of treatment, etc.
There is a self mixed bottle of Alcohol and Ivomectin, and a self mixed bottle of Ivomectin and Mineral Oil in the kennel area. Though some of these ingredients have expiration dates, there are none listed on the bottles, so there is no way to prove how old the mixtures are.
399 dogs recorded (275 adults · 124 puppies).
Two dogs were observed to have dental problems that need to be evaluated for treatment by a veterinarian: -Male Maltese "Rex" microchip 044-010-078 had upper back teeth (molars and/or premolars) that were loose to the touch, were covered in hard dark material and had a bad odor coming from his mouth. -Female poodle "Pearl" microchip 102-287-298 had hair stuck in between her lower front teeth (incisors) and gums. Close evaluation revealed these teeth were loose to the touch. Bad odors from the mouth, loose teeth to the touch, material between the gums and teeth and teeth covered in a hard dark material are all signs of dental problems. Dental problems can be painful and can affect the overall health of the affected dog. Ensure these two dogs are evaluated and treated by a veterinarian. ***Correct by May 2, 2015.
Two dogs were observed to have dental problems that had not previously been identified by the license: -Male Maltese "Rex" microchip 044-010-078 had upper back teeth (molars and/or premolars) that were loose to the touch, were covered in dark material and had a bad odor coming from his mouth. -Female poodle "Pearl" microchip 102-287-298 had hair stuck in between her lower front teeth (incisors) and gums. Close evaluation revealed these teeth were loose to the touch. Close daily observations of each animal must be completed to ensure that if one is sick or injured that the attending veterinarian may be notified promptly. Develop and maintain a routine of daily observations to ensure the health and wellbeing of the animals at the facility. ***Correct by 4/28/2015

Two dogs (microchip #'s 044-010-078 and 102-287-298) were not taken to the Veterinarian for dental problems as directed in the previous report on 4-27-15. One dog was transferred to another person on 5-30-15 and the other dog was transferred on 8-29-15. Neither dog had been seen by the Attending Veterinarian prior to the transfer. When unaddressed, dental problems can be painful and cause general health problems in affected animals. To ensure proper veterinary care of animals; medical problems including dental problems must be communicated to and evaluated by the Attending Veterinarian. This was a focused inspection to address non compliances listed in April 27, 2015 report.
615 dogs recorded (390 adults · 225 puppies).
Multiple dogs had veterinary care issues that had not been observed or seen by the Attending Veterinarian at the time of inspection. The veterinary care issues are as follows: ---A black and white female Boston Terrier (microchip ID # 900164000675197) with six pups that were born three days ago was noted to be extremely thin. The ribs and the hip bones were easily visible. Bloody discharge was also observed on the floor of the cage. ---A black and white female Boston Terrier (microchip ID # 0A02142900) was observed to have its right eye clouded over. The eye was reddened and there was a watery discharge. ---A tan male Shiba Inu (microchip ID # 022-592-306) was weaping from its left eye and had a greenish tinge to it. INDIRECT ---A grey and white female Shih Tzu (microchip ID # 900164000675239) was observed to have its right eye clouded over. ---A black and white female Boston Terrier (microchip ID # 0A02185308) was observed to have a white spot on its left eye. ---A black and white male Boston Terrier (microchip ID # 0A02297267) was observed to have a white spot on its left eye. Eye problems can be painful and lead to more serious eye issues without appropriate treatment. A thin animal can indicate underlying health issues that may require treatment. The dogs noted above must be seen by the Attending Veterinarian and treated per his/her instructions.
Multiple animals were observed to have veterinary care issues during the inspection. Most of the animals with veterinary care issues had not been observed to have these issues prior to inspection. This has resulted in veterinary care issues going untreated. A daily observation process needs to be put in place so veterinary care issues can be immediately identified and treated per the Attending Veterinarian's instructions.
566 dogs recorded (348 adults · 218 puppies).
The first dog was a tri colored female Shih Tzu (microchip # 900164001254712). The dog had a reddish bulge protruding out of its right eye. The licensee noticed it two days ago, but did not document it or contact the Attending Veterinarian.
The second dog was a white female Malta-Poo (microchip # 01254625). The dog's left eye had a discharge coming out of it that was turning the fur surrounding the eye a reddish brown color. During observation the dog was squinting and it appeared the eye was bothering the dog.
While inspecting a medicine cabinet, a bottle containing Garlic Oil was noted to have expired on 12/14.
During inspection, the licensee was asked how often he is disinfecting his primary enclosures. He informed me that he doesn't disinfect the primary enclosures as he wasn't aware that he had to. Not disinfecting the primary enclosures doesn't ensure that the various types of germs (such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, etc.) have been killed and that the cage is safe to use for new incoming dogs. All primary enclosures must be disinfected once every two weeks and more often if necessary to prevent an accumulation of dirt, debris, food waste, excreta, and other disease hazards. Correct by 6/1/16.
533 dogs recorded (353 adults · 180 puppies).
During inspection, a white male Maltese puppy (born 9/4/16) was lateral having trouble getting up. I examined the puppy and found him to be listless. I placed him back down on all four feet to see if he could stand. His back legs collapsed. He was able to sit somewhat upright with his front legs, but he was unable to stand on all four or walk around. I examined him further and found his gums to be pale. He also had diarrhea pasted on his fur near his anus. After examining the puppy, the licensee placed him into a new enclosure to isolate him. His condition appeared to be getting worse over the next few minutes as he continued to lay laterally and wasn't even lifting his head to see what was going on around him. The licensee had noticed the puppy was not quite as active as the other puppies a few days prior and had treated him with Nutrical, but he had not contacted the Attending Veterinarian about the puppy's condition prior to the inspection. A dog that has trouble standing or walking around, is listless, has pale gums, and has diarrhea indicates that the dog has a serious medical condition that needs to be attended to by a Veterinarian immediately. The licensee must follow up with the Attending Veterinarian to ensure that the puppy receives the appropriate treatment for his condition. Note: The licensee contacted the Attending Veterinarian during the inspection and had initiated treatment for the puppy as per the Attending Veterinarian's instructions. Note: The veterinary care issues identified during the last inspection on 5/18/16 have been addressed by the licensee.
582 dogs recorded (394 adults · 188 puppies).
Two dogs were noted to have veterinary care issues requiring veterinary attention. The first dog was a black and white female Boston Terrier named "Peanut" (microchip ID # 900164000675142) located at the first location. The dog has a white circular spot in the center of its eye. The licensee stated the dog has had this condition for a year and was previously treated by the Attending Veterinarian, however it appears that the dog's eye has a condition that is currently active and may need further evaluation by the Attending Veterinarian.

Multiple vials of canine distemper vaccine at the second location were found to have expired on 3-14-17.
175 dogs recorded (118 adults · 57 puppies).
The licensee is not following the vaccination protocol outlined in the Program of Veterinary Care. The licensee has been administering the distemper and parvovirus vaccines on an earlier schedule than what is listed in the PVC. Failure to provide vaccinations on the schedule approved by the Attending (AV) cannot ensure that adequate and proper veterinary care is being provided. The licensee must administer the distemper and parvovirus vaccines on the approved schedule or work with the AV to revise the vaccination schedule. The AV must approve any changes to the vaccination schedule. Correct by October 6, 2023.
107 dogs recorded (76 adults · 31 puppies).
The food preparation area for the dogs had an accumulation of egg shells, trash, and junk. An unclean food preparation area prevents good husbandry practices. It may facilitate the spread of disease amongst the dogs. The food preparation area must be cleaned up. Correct by 5/9/25.
A complete physical exam of all the adult dogs has not been completed in the past year. Not having the physical exams completed doesn't ensure that adequate veterinary care is being provided to the dogs. The licensee must have the Attending Veterinarian conduct annual exams on all the adult dogs. Correct by 6/8/25.
Approximately 15 of the male adult dogs are not current on their distemper and parvo vaccines.
In addition, no dogs have been sampled for heartworm or fecal parasites in the past year.
An adult male Cavalier King Charles Spaniel ("Jason", microchip # 900164001691502) had a left ear with a large buildup of thick black material caked around the outer ear flap with a mild foul odor. The ear canal was unable to be observed due to the large amount of brown material. The ear flap skin was red. The right ear had a mild excess of dark brown material.
An adult Male Shih Tzu, named “Gary” (microchip number #900164001981224) had a mildly red outer ear with a buildup of greasy brown material. The hair in both ear canals is clumped with brown material obstructing the view of the inner ear.
One rabbit was housed in an enclosure with two guinea pigs. Another enclosure contained six guinea pigs and one rabbit. A third enclosure contained one guinea pig and one rabbit. Rabbits should not be housed with other species unless for scientific reasons. Housing rabbits with other animals may have a negative impact on the health and well-being of either animal, due to the potential spread of diseases between species and risk of injury. The licensee shall ensure that rabbits are not housed in the same primary enclosure with other species. Correct by 5/9/25.
122 dogs recorded (80 adults · 42 puppies).
A female Shih Tzu born 7/4/23 (microchip ID # 900215005361790) was lethargic, had somewhat labored breathing, and had diarrhea. The licensee observed and isolated the dog last night, but had not contacted the attending veterinarian. Not contacting the Attending Veterinarian and treating per his/her instructions doesn't ensure the dog is receiving adequate veterinarian care. The dog is displaying symptoms indicating it is in some sort of distress and is in need of medical treatment. The attending veterinarian must be contacted and treated per his/her instructions. Correct starting on 8/20/25. Note: The attending veterinarian was contacted and treated during inspection.
120 dogs recorded (78 adults · 42 puppies).
An adult female Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (microchip ID #900164001981251) had a premolar on the left side of its mouth with some tartar buildup. In addition, the tooth was loose. The licensee had not observed this prior to inspection. Not making timely observations can result in dental issues like the one noted here. Undiagnosed and untreated dental issues can result in an infection that could become systemic and cause serious illness. In addition, untreated dental issues can be painful. The licensee must conduct daily observations on each and every animal to assess their health and well-being. Any medical issues must be documented and treated per the attending veterinarian's instructions. Correct by 9/10/25.
