What inspectors wrote

September 4, 2014 — Routine inspection, USDA 41-A-0443

303 dogs recorded (170 adults · 133 puppies).

  • Retriever with crusty growth, no prior vet check

    Medical treatment One adult retriever #194 was noted as having a silver dollar sized protrusion coming out of its back side. This protrusion appeared to have a crusty surface and was discovered because the animal seemed to be uncomfortable when it walked. The animal had neither been assessed by a veterinarian, nor had there been any treatment for the anomaly. Without proper treatment of wounds or infection, animals are at risk of serious infection, injury, and worse. The animal listed above must be assessed by a veterinarian and any treatment plan given must be followed. #194 was assessed by a veterinarian before the report was delivered.

  • Retriever protrusion observation undocumented

    Daily Observation One adult retriever #194 was noted as having a silver dollar sized protrusion coming out of its back side. This protrusion appeared to have a crusty surface and was discovered because the animal seemed to be uncomfortable when it walked. The licensee had no proof that the anomaly had been observed prior to this. Without adequate daily observation of all animals and timely communication with the attending veterinarian, animals are at risk of infection, injury, and worse. The animal listed above must be assessed by a veterinarian and proper daily observation of animals must be conducted. Correct by #194 was assessed by a veterinarian before the report was delivered.

  • Excessive rust on enclosures and equipment (Repeat)

    Rust In at least two of the indoor/outdoor enclosures on the north side of the small dog outdoor runs have rust on the bottom of the cyclone fencing that has eaten completely through exposing jagged edges. At least one of the metal springs used to connect the food receptacles to the wall of the enclosures are rusted to an extent that it cannot be properly sanitized. Many areas on the metal walls throughout the facility have chipped or scratched paint and the metal has begun to rust. Surfaces that are excessively rusted cannot be readily cleaned and sanitized because the surfaces become rough and corroded which traps dirt and dust, and the structural strength of the enclosures may be compromised which poses a serious hazard to the animals housed within. The licensee must ensure that surfaces and equipment are in good repair, and are free of excessive rust at all times.

  • Excessive feces in outdoor enclosures

    Cleaning There are excessive amounts of animal feces in the outdoor portions of the enclosures. Some of the waste material was noted as having mold covering the surface. On the inside portion of the southward building, between the enclosures closest to the heating system and the wall, there is an abundance of animal hair and debris built up. Insects, vermin, disease and odors can accumulate and cause harm to the animals if waste is not removed from enclosures on a daily basis. Licensee must thoroughly clean primary enclosures and ensure that adequate daily cleaning is preformed. Correct by 9/15/2014
