Incomplete program of veterinary care
The current program of veterinary care (PVC) on file (APHIS form 7002) is not complete. The PVC does not address the sampling for worms, coccidia, giardia, or heartworm with a schedule approved by the attending veterinarian. In addition, the PVC does not address a preventative care and treatment program to ensure healthy and unmatted hair coats, properly trimmed nails, clean and heathy eyes, ears, skin, and teeth. These items need to be address in the PVC to ensure preventative and adequate treatment is provided to the dogs. APHIS form 7002A was left with applicant to help with documenting the program of veterinary care. This is the 1st re-license inspection for a Class A license.
