USDA Inspections

USDA inspectors visit licensed dog breeders to check that their facilities meet federal Animal Welfare Act standards — housing, food and water, veterinary care, sanitation, and how the dogs are handled. Each visit produces a public report through the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). For citations, we've included the first sentence of the report.

The findings, citation codes, and dates shown are drawn directly from those records and reflect conditions documented on the inspection date(s) shown — they may not reflect current operations.
