The facility was unable to provide documentation of fecal tests performed last year. The facility stated that fecal tests for adults were performed last year in accordance with the schedule in the Program of Veterinary Care but they could not provide the test results. Failure to document testing results may interfere with the ability of APHIS officials to determine if the animals are receiving adequate veterinary care. Medical records must be maintained and include the dates and findings/results of all screening, routine, or other required or recommended test or examination. Correct by documenting the results of all testing and ensure that medical records are complete and contain the required information.

The facility is not following the Program of Veterinary Care for vaccinations. The Program of Veterinary Care currently prescribes dogs will be vaccinated for rabies at 16-18 weeks of age and annually going forward. A female Cavalier King Charles Spaniel born on October 25, 2025 has not been administered a rabies vaccine according to the facility representative. Failure to follow the preventative care schedule for vaccinations in the Program of Veterinary Care does not ensure the dogs are receiving appropriate protection against contagious and deadly diseases such as distemper, parvo, and rabies which can lead to illness and discomfort to the dogs. The facility must follow the vaccination schedule approved by the attending veterinarian in the Program of Veterinary Care to protect the dogs from deadly or contagious diseases.
