  • Expired medication in fridge

    The licensee has expired drug Neopar lot # 7143 expired 9/13 and lot # 7135 expired 07/12 in the fridge with vaccines currently in use. Expired drugs should not be used to vaccinate animals or stored in an area where current vaccines are used. This needs to be addressed so that the vaccinations used prevent diseases. Correct Immediately

December 7, 2015 — Routine inspection, USDA 21-A-0171

35 dogs recorded (22 adults · 13 puppies).

  • Spaniels with dirty, odorous ears

    Two spaniels identified as "Rover" #A01643729 and "Misty" #04902031457 had ears that were dirty with an odor and need to be cleaned.

  • Spaniels with heavily matted ears

    In addition both these dogs "Rover" #A01643729 and "Misty" #04902031457 have heavily matted ears that need to be groomed.

  • Two females fighting through mesh

    The outside runs are divided by wire mesh sides where the dogs have view of each other. Two female Sheba's housed next to each other are very aggressive towards each other and are fighting and running at each other along the mesh. The licensee states that have done this for a while. These dogs should not be housed directly next to each other because this constant fighting can cause additional stress on the dogs. Correct by: Dec 11, 2015

  • Feeders with grime under lip

    Most of the feeders had a layer of grime and debris underneath the lip of the feeder. These feeders need to be cleaned more frequently to reduce this grime and for the health of the dogs. Correct by: Dec 11, 2015
