What inspectors wrote

October 29, 2019 — Routine inspection, USDA 43-A-6299

97 dogs recorded (64 adults · 33 puppies).

  • Feces piled in birthing enclosures

    There were at least six occupied enclosures for the sheltered whelping building that contained greater than a day's worth of feces. It appeared difficult for some of the dogs to maneuver around the fecal material in the outdoor portion of the sheltered building; however, there were some areas of flooring that did not have fecal material and the dogs could avoid it. According to the licensee, it had been two to three days since the outside of the enclosures had been cleaned. Accumulations of waste products increase the risk of disease hazards and the dogs becoming soiled. The licensee must ensure that hard surfaces with which the dogs come in contact are spot-cleaned daily and sanitized in accordance with Sec 3.11 (b) to prevent accumulation of excreta and reduce disease hazards. To be corrected by: October 30, 2019.
