Both buildings had enclosures with excessively soiled bedding.
In the lower building, an area between the drain gutters and underneath the gutters had a build-up of wet soiled material. Removing some of this material released a very strong odor.
(b) Ventilation. Both buildings had a stong ammonia odor in the building throughout inspection. I noted a burning sensation in my throat in both buildings and I felt my eyes burn slightly while entering the lower building. Vents to the lower building were closed prior to inspection. Lack of fresh air can make many animals sick and do poorly. Fresh air flow must be provided while maintaining an indoor temperature of 60 to 85 degrees F. Cleaning primary enclosures more often may also decrease ammonia odors.
(1) Primary enclosures shall be structurally sound and maintained in good repair... At least 7 feeders in the lower building were excessively rusty or had sharp edges on them. Enclosures numbered 4, 5, 8, 15, 18, 21, and 23 were observed to have such conditions. Excessivley rusted feeders cannot be cleaned appropriately and can cause animals to get sick. Sharp edges can cause injury. Repair and maintian surfaces in the enclosures (including feeders) free from rust and free from sharp edges.
All enclosures had excessively wet bedding around the watering tubes. This does not allow guinea pigs to eat or drink without getting their feet wet. This can cause guinea pigs to get sick or do poorly. To protect their health, guinea pigs must be able to eat and drink without getting their feet wet. Maintain the watering and drinking areas with clean, dry bedding at all times.
There was an excessive amount of black flies in the buildings. The licensee reports using a spray, however the amount of flies suggests a more effective pest control program is needed. The upper building's windows were open and no screens were in place, which allows flies to enter easily.
The upper building's windows were open and no screens were in place, which allows flies to enter easily.
There was an excessive buildup of soiled bedding and debris in the corners of most enclosures by the water sipper valves and feeding areas. Guinea pigs in these areas have to walk on wet soiled bedding to eat or drink. A build up of wet and soiled areas in the enclosures could increase risk for sickness and increase odors in the building. To promote animal health; spot clean soiled areas more often to ensure that guinea pigs have dry access to feed and water.
Some guinea pigs in the upper building at location 1 have hair loss and appear to have skin problems: A guinea pig in enclosure #9 has hair loss along its back and reddened skin along its back. A guinea pig in enclosure #14 has hair loss along its back and the skin is reddened in areas of hair loss. A brown guinea pig in enclosure #15 has hair loss and the skin appears slightly crusty in areas. Two guinea pigs in enclosure #4 had hair loss and reddened skin in areas of hair loss; one of these guinea pigs also has a scab above its shoulders in the area of hair loss.
A female guinea pig in the lower building (location 1) had a buildup of crusted material on its front feet. Close evaluation revealed that it had an overgrown toe-nail on one toe (the other toes could not be visualized due to the crusted material).
At least 50 feeders at Location 1's upper building and at location 2 have wire points exposed to the guinea pigs. Also, in the lower building at location 1 there is a feeder in the first pen closest to the main door that is rusted and has sharp edges exposed to the guinea pigs. Sharp edges and wire points can injure the guinea pigs. The facility must replace or fix feeders so that they do not have any sharp points exposed to the guinea pigs.
There was an excessive buildup of wet soiled bedding and debris in the corners of most enclosures by the water sipper valves and feeding areas. Guinea pigs in these areas have to stand on wet soiled bedding to eat or drink. A build up of wet and soiled areas in the enclosures increases the risk for sickness and increases odors in the building. To promote animal health; spot clean soiled areas more often to ensure that guinea pigs have dry access to feed and water at all times. This was an inspection of locations 1 and 2.
The end on five enclosures had excessively soiled bedding due to what the facility reports are poorly adjusted water sipper valves on those five enclosures. Guinea pigs in these enclosures have to stand on wet soiled bedding to eat or drink. A build up of wet and soiled areas in the enclosures increases the risk for sickness and increases odors in the building. To promote animal health; spot clean soiled areas more often and ensure proper water valve adjustments so that guinea pigs have dry access to feed and water at all times.
Thirty seven feeders were observed to have edges that were rusted out and rough. The facility showed me new feeders they have on hand to correct this and began replacing the affected feeders during inspection. Rough and rusted edges could injure guinea pigs. Ensure that all enclosure surfaces are maintained more often so guinea pigs can't touch any rough or sharp edges.
45 dogs recorded (31 adults · 14 puppies).
The facility has names and identification numbers assigned to each adult dog, however the dogs are not wearing official identification. The facility describes tags as the preferred method of assigning identification to each animal. Lack of ID makes tracking animals for husbandry and health needs difficult.

APHIS form 7006 (Record of Disposition) is not being used for the sales of puppies. While records of sales were observed to have been made, APHIS 7006 is a required form for all dog sales/transfers from a licensed kennel. Ensure that all sales/transfers are being recorded and maintained on APHIS 7006 and available for inspection. ***.
Some bags of food and bedding are being stored in a room that houses weaned puppies. Food and bedding stored in the same room as animals increases the risk of contaminating the food/bedding. Only food and bedding that is in use may be in animal areas and opened bags must be kept in leakproof containers with tightly fitting lids. Ensure that food and bedding is stored in a separate space that protects it from contamination risk. ***.
68 dogs recorded (34 adults · 34 puppies).
Two expired medications were in storage and had been used since expiration date; Oxytocin expired May 2022 and Safeguard expired April 2023. Expired medications might not work as intended or might not treat/prevent the conditions which they are made for. Ensure to routinely check stored medications and properly discard of them so that they cannot be used in animals. ***.
The facility has names and identification numbers assigned to each adult dog, however the dogs are not wearing official identification. The licensee said tags have been ordered but they haven't received the order yet. Lack of ID makes it difficult to track animals on husbandry and health records. Ensure that each dog is wearing its official identification number as required such as with a collar made of material generally considered acceptable to pet owners as a means of identifying their pet dogs.

40 dogs recorded (28 adults · 12 puppies).
Two feeders were seen to have rust that made the edges rough or sharp.
Two pieces of metal flashing had edges dogs could contact and had sharp edges.
Different areas on the inside and outside walls and divider posts were chewed and had bare wood and foam exposed that cannot be readily cleaned and sanitized. To allow proper cleaning and sanitizing, surfaces that dogs can touch must be maintained on a regular basis. Ensure to maintain these areas in a manner that allows them to be cleaned and sanitized. ***.
It has been more than 12 months since dogs have had their head to tail physical exams. Physical exams of each dog are required within every 12 months and help ensure each dog is healthy. Ensure to contact the attending veterinarian to get the physical exams completed for each dog. ***.
48 dogs recorded (23 adults · 25 puppies).
A facility representative said that all dogs are being vaccinated and dewormed, however records for vaccinations and dewormers given isn't kept for each dog for neopar and neovac (rabies vaccinations records were available). Medical records that have the names of all vaccines and treatments given to dogs have to be maintained to ensure each dog is being kept up to date on their care. Ensure to maintain medical records for adult dogs as required. ***To correct from August 7, 2025 forward.
