43 dogs recorded (25 adults · 18 puppies).

  • Lidded bedding containers not leakproof

    There were two containers of bedding for dogs that were lidded yet not leakproof. Containers of bedding that are not leakproof does not fully protect the bedding from spoilage, contamination, and vermin infestation, which can cause disease hazards in dogs. All open supplies of bedding must be kept in leakproof containers with tightly fitting lids to prevent contamination and spoilage.

  • Trash container without lid

    There was a trash container in the housing facility that did not have a lid on it. Keeping trash containers without lids on them does not fully minimize contamination and disease risks in the animal housing facility, creating the potential for disease hazards in dogs. Trash containers in housing facilities and in food storage and food preparation areas must be leak-proof and must have tightly fitted lids on them at all times. This is a 1st Relicense Inspection for a Class “A” license.

  • Matted coats and long nails injury risk

    While there is no skin damage, the mats closeness to the skin cause a tightness/pulling that can cause dicomfort to the regulated animal. … Each of these dogs had long nails that caused their toes to twist to the side, or not lie in a normal position when standing on a flat surface. … The mats as they grow larger and tighten on the skin can cause skin issues or sores if adequate grooming is not done. Nails that are not trimmed regularly can become a hazard to the regulated animal causing injury to themselves by getting the nails caught on fencing or objects within thier primary enclosure or in their outdoor run area.
