14 dogs recorded (12 adults · 2 puppies).

  • Attending vet agreement not formalized

    The attending vet listed on the consultant agreement has recently left the area. The facility has made arrangements for the emergency vet clinic to become the attending veterinarian, but those arrangements have not been formalized with a written agreement. The new attending vet needs to visit the facility and work out the consultant arrangements through a new written document. This is to assure the new attending vet has adequate authority over the care of the animals and that communication methods are in place regarding health care needs. Correct by: June 7, 2017

  • Large-breed male ear wound not reported

    A large breed dog male # 001 has a small wound on the left ear tip. The area appears to be healing overall but there is also still a small open area of red tissue. No treatment was given to the dog and the injury was not communicated to the vet for an appropriate treatment plan.

  • Large-breed female eye irritation not reported

    A large breed dog female # 011 was blinking her eyes continuously and pawing her face. She did not seem to want to open the right eye. The licensee looked closer at the eye and there appeared to be some irritation.

  • Loose wire mesh hanging into enclosure

    There is one section of wire mesh that is coming down in the fourth enclosure and one of the wires is hanging down into the enclosure which can cause potential injury to the dogs.
