Lorraine M Reiff – Reiff Family Kennel

April 1, 2024 — Routine inspection, USDA 31-A-0873

101 dogs recorded (45 adults · 56 puppies).

• Frayed carpet fibers in enclosures

  Seven primary enclosures housing a total of 30 puppies and 4 adult female dogs have excessively worn carpets. These carpets are used to provide solid resting surfaces in whelping enclosures. However, the carpet fibers can become very frayed and damaged from dogs chewing and scratching at them. This could serve as a source of potential injury to a dog if these carpet fibers become ingested or wrap around their digits. Correct by ensuring materials used within a primary enclosure are able to be repaired or replaced when worn or damaged. Correct from 4/8/24 onward.
