Enclosures are not being cleaned properly. The walls of approximately 6 sheltered primary enclosures housing approximately 14 adult dogs are soiled with brown material. Additionally, several of the doors leading to the outside runs also are soiled with a brown material. Inadequate and infrequent cleaning and sanitization allows for the growth of disease-causing agents that may increase the risk of health hazards for the animals. Appropriate cleaning and sanitization of the surfaces must include removal of the buildup of material found and to prevent accumulation of this material. All surfaces of housing facilities must be cleaned and sanitized when necessary to satisfy generally accepted husbandry standards and practices. Correct by ensuring hard surfaces with which the dogs come into contact with are spot cleaned daily and sanitized in accordance with 3.11 (b) of this subpart to prevent accumulation of excreta and reduce disease hazards.

Complete medical records must be maintained and include the names of all vaccines and treatments administered and the dates of administration. Correct by documenting all treatments given and ensure that medical records are complete and contain the required information. Correct by 13-APRIL-2026.
