There is a mixture of dirt, grease and other excreta accumulating on the interior fiberglass wall of sixteen enclosures. Fourty dogs are in contact with the affected surfaces located in outdoor housing. The affected area covers approximately 30 to 40 percent of the interior wall area.

This indicates an unsanitary living condition exists that could lead to potential disease or health risks. Surfaces which are not cleaned and sanitized properly increase the risk of disease hazards for the dogs. Cleanliness is important to the health and well-being of the animals. All surfaces of housing facilities must be cleaned and sanitized when necessary to satisfy generally accepted husbandry standards and practices. The applicant must ensure that hard surfaces with which the dogs come in contact must be spot cleaned daily and sanitized in accordance with 3.11 (B) of this sub part to prevent accumulation of excreta and reduce disease hazards.
