What inspectors wrote
July 5, 2022 — Re-license inspection, USDA 35-A-0356
69 dogs recorded (48 adults · 21 puppies).
Vet plan missing emergency care
The current written program of veterinary care is incomplete and does not not address the availability of emergency, weekend or holiday care. Lack of a complete program of veterinary care does not ensure that proper veterinary care will be provided. The program of veterinary care must address the availability of emergency, weekend or holiday care.
Vet plan lacks euthanasia guidance
The current written program of veterinary care is incomplete and does not provide adequate guidance regarding euthanasia. Lack of a complete program of veterinary care does not ensure that proper veterinary care will be provided. The program of veterinary care must provide guidance regarding euthanasia.
Adult kennel chewed wooden ramps
Two enclosures in the adult kennel building have wooden ramps that are chewed. Chewed wooden surfaces cannot be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. Primary enclosures must be maintained so that all surfaces in contact with the dogs can be readily cleaned and sanitized or replaced when worn or soiled.
Written veterinary program unsigned by AV
The written program of veterinary care (PVC) is not signed by the attending veterinarian (AV). Lack of the AV's signature does not ensure that the AV is in agreement that appropriate veterinary care is being provided to the dogs. The PVC must be signed by the AV. This is a 1st Re-License Inspection for a Class A license.
June 11, 2026 — Routine inspection, USDA 35-A-0356
52 dogs recorded (39 adults · 13 puppies).
Puppies stuck in mesh flooring
A nursing female and eight 4.5 week old puppies were in an enclosure that had mesh flooring. The openings in the flooring measured 1.375 inches by 0.875 inches. The puppies were able to easily stick their legs through the flooring. I observed the puppies tripping and getting stuck as they were trying to walk around the enclosure. Mesh flooring that allows the puppies legs to pass through the openings can result in the puppies getting injured. The licensee must either move the puppies to an enclosure where their legs won't pass through the openings or fix their current enclosure so they are unable to pass their legs through those openings. Correct by 6/14/26.
Exercise plan not approved by current vet
The facility has an exercise plan that was approved by a previous attending veterinarian, but there is no exercise plan that has been approved by the current attending veterinarian. Exercise for dogs is critical for healthy development and psychological well-being. The licensee must develop, document, and follow an appropriate plan to provide dogs with the opportunity for exercise. In addition, the plan must be approved by the attending veterinarian. The plan must include written standard procedures to be followed in providing the opportunity for exercise. Correct by 7/11/26.
Adult dog moved into enclosure with feces
During inspection, I observed the facility representative move an adult dog into an enclosure that had fecal matter in it. Not cleaning and sanitizing an enclosure prior moving a dog into it can contribute to the spread of disease. All enclosures must be cleaned and sanitized before they can be used to house a dog(s). Correct starting on 6/11/26.
Distemper and parvo dates undocumented
The facility representative reported that all the dogs are up to date on their distemper and parvo vaccines, but the date those vaccines were administered has not been documented anywhere. Not documenting the date when the distemper and parvo vaccines was administered doesn't ensure the vaccines have been given. The date the distemper and parvo vaccines are administered must be documented going forward. Correct starting on 6/11/26.
Annual exam dates undocumented
The licensee has completed annual exams on all the dogs, but the documentation for the annual exams doesn't have a date as to when these exams were completed. Without a date on the annual exams, there is no way for the inspector to confirm when the annual exams were completed and if they had been completed in the past year. The dates and findings/results of all screening, routine, or other required or recommended tests or examinations must be documented going forward. Correct starting on 6/11/26.
