Enclosure too small for six puppies
Six puppies are in enclosure that is too small for them. The enclosure consists of an indoor cage with an outdoor run. If the puppies had access to the outdoor run, the enclosure would be more than large enough for them. However, the puppies have not figured out how to use the doggy door yet so therefore they are restricted to using just the inside part of the enclosure. The inside part of the enclosure measures 47 inches by 36 inches for a total of 1,692 square inches of space. Four of the puppies are 13 inches long, one is 13.5 inches long, and another is 11.5 inches long. Together they require 2,130.5 square inches of space and are short by 438.5 square inches of space. Cage space requirements ensure that the dogs have enough room to move about freely within their cages. It minimizes the dogs from stepping or sitting in their feces or urine and also minimizes the spread of disease. The licensee must ensure that all enclosures containing dogs and puppies have enough floor space to meet the minimum floor space requirements for the number of and the size of the dogs in that enclosure. Correct immediately.
