- Nine puppies no identification

Appropriate identification of dogs is necessary to meet recordkeeping requirements for inventory, disposition, transport, and healthcare documentation. The licensee must properly identify puppies with an acceptable form of identification, which include a cage card (if litters are not comingled), a microchip, a collar and tag, or a plastic-type collar with the required information legibly written. TO BE CORRECTED BY FEBRUARY 17, 2023.
