NA Schwartz – New Haven, IN

July 16, 2025 — Routine inspection, USDA 32-A-1107

30 dogs recorded (21 adults · 9 puppies).

• Cavalier puppies shipped two days early

  Four cavalier puppies born on 2/5/25 were shipped 3/31/25, two days prior to the required 8 week minimum age requirement. Puppies younger than 8 weeks of age are more susceptible to stresses that occur from travelling and being placed into a new facility. Their immune systems are more susceptible to becoming compromised which could cause them to become sick and even die. The licensee must not sell and transport any puppies under 8 weeks of age. Correct starting on 7/17/25.

• Feces buildup in multiple enclosures

  Multiple enclosures appeared to have more than a days worth of feces buildup. I asked the facility representative when the enclosures were last cleaned. She stated they were last cleaned two days prior. Not removing the excreta and food waste from the enclosures daily can attract pests such as flies. In addition it can contribute to the spread of disease. Excreta and food waste must be removed from the enclosures daily or as often as necessary to prevent an excessive accumulation of feces and food waste. Correct starting on 7/17/25.

• Three dogs missing distemper/parvo records

  The licensee believes all the adult dogs in the kennel are up to date on their vaccines, but no distemper/parvo vaccine has been documented for at least three dogs (named Lucky, Sammy, and Evelyn). Not having documentation of all vaccines for all dogs doesn't ensure that the dogs are adequately protected from the diseases that the vaccine is supposed to protect against. The licensee must accurately document all vaccines given to all dogs in a timely manner moving forward. Correct by 7/18/25.
