24 dogs recorded (12 adults · 12 puppies).

  • Anti-parasitic records missing

    Records of administration of anti-parasitic medications for intestinal parasites were not maintained for adult dogs sold and held by the licensee. The written Program of Veterinary Care, signed and dated 6/28/2023, required that pregnant females receive fenbendazole (Pyrantel or Safeguard) once at the time of whelping. The licensee stated that she has been administering the fenbendazole to her adult dogs at the time of whelping, as described in the Program of Veterinary Care; however, she has not been documenting this activity. Medical records are essential for APHIS inspectors to evaluate the quality of medical care provided by the facility and ensure the animals are protected from disease, injury, and illness. The licensee must keep copies of medical records for dogs and make the records available for APHIS inspection. These records must include routine husbandry procedures (such as vaccinations, preventive medical procedures, and treatments) performed an all animals. To be corrected by the close of business on 11/29/2024.
