Us too. That's why we built Pawthenticity — a nonprofit transparency platform that compiles already-public information about breeders: ownership, license(s), inspections, violations, kennel size, breeds, and more.
Our goal is simple: an honest, transparent, and up-to-date resource for the dog community. 🐾

USDA Inspections
USDA inspectors visit licensed dog breeders to check that their facilities meet federal Animal Welfare Act standards — housing, food and water, veterinary care, sanitation, and how the dogs are handled. Each visit produces a public report through the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). For citations, we've included the first sentence of the report.
