Leah Yoder – Stoney Hill Kennels

Animal 186 was identified by the attending Veterinarian as needing dental prophylaxis on it's biannual physical exam April 2014 but had not yet received the proceedure.

Animal 231 was identified as having otitis during the April 2014 veterinary examination and has been receiving treatment but no further followup with the attending veterinarian.

Two enclosures had vinyl walls that were chewed to expose underlying surface.

Three enclosures had cracks in the concrete floor where the sealant had come out.

Prince, a female cream and white Shih Tzu (#185 DOB 6/30/09) had a white raised cloudy spot covering about half of the external surface of the eye. The dog pulled away and turned its head when I got near it even to check the teeth. This behavior is consistent with the eye being painful. The licensee did not know when this began, and said they have treated something similar in the dog in the past. Eye injuries and/or diseases can be painful, and deteriorate quickly if left untreated. The licensee must have the dog evaluated by a licensed veterinarian, and follow the treatment plan prescribed by the veterinarian. TO BE CORRECTED: A facility representative contacted the veterinarian and scheduled an appointment before the inspection concluded.

Wardens noted humidity levels above 70% in the main kennel building during this inspection.

Wardens viewed that the kennel owner(s) did not comply with the veterinary exam schedule.

The facility is not sampling for heartworm as prescribed in the Program of Veterinary Care (PVC). The PVC states heartworm testing will be performed once a year. The last heartworm test was done on 1/16/24. There was no testing done in 2025. Failure to follow sampling requirements in the PVC can lead to failure to detect disease in the dogs. The facility must follow the Program of Veterinary Care including sampling for parasites including heartworm. Correct by: June 1, 2026
