There were at least six occupied enclosures for the sheltered whelping building that contained greater than a day's worth of feces.

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.
