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.

Pawthenticity summarizes public inspection records from USDA APHIS to help people make informed decisions. 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. Category and severity labels are our summary of the USDA's own findings, not independent judgments about a breeder. If you believe any information here is inaccurate or out of date, please submit a correction.

It's 2026. Why is researching a dog breeder this hard?

Most dog breeder research still happens through Facebook, word of mouth, and luck. We're building something different: free, searchable USDA and (coming soon) state inspection reports, all scannable at a glance. The dog community deserves the same kind of transparency like every other consumer space already has. Help us build it.
