What inspectors wrote

April 21, 2015 — Routine inspection, USDA 43-A-3783

101 dogs recorded (98 adults · 3 puppies).

  • Female Maltese matted with feces

    A female Maltese (#098*333*071) had fecal material and bedding debris matted in the fur under her tail and rear legs. According to the licensee, this condition was due to changing the food a couple of days ago. Matted fecal material can be uncomfortable and can increase the risk of skin sores. The licensee must ensure this dog's fur under the tail is cleaned and groomed from the matted fecal material. The licensee must establish an appropriate grooming schedule for all dogs. The licensee must ensure that all animals receive adequate veterinary care at all times. TO BE CORRECTED BY: April 22, 2015.

  • Water receptacles with dark green algae

    There were at least 5 water receptacles, including stainless steel and rubber receptacles, which had an accumulation of a dark green algae-like growth on the inside surfaces. Water receptacles which are not properly cleaned or sanitized can harbor disease-causing organisms. The licensee must ensure that all water receptacles are sanitized at least once every 2 weeks and more often if necessary to prevent an accumulation of dirt, debris, food waste and other disease hazards. TO BE CORRECTED BY: April 28, 2015.

  • Female French Bulldog overgrown, curled nails (Repeat)

    A female fawn French Bulldog (#067*097*782) had overgrown toenails. Some of the nails on both rear paws, especially on the outside digits, had grown so long that they had curled around and were touching or approaching the pads of the feet. Overgrown nails can cause changes in gait and stance and increase the risk of discomfort. The licensee must develop and establish an effective nail trimming schedule as part of the overall program of veterinary care for the animals in the facility. The licensee must ensure that all animals receive adequate veterinary care at all times. The licensee trimmed this dog's toenails at the time of inspection. *Note - the female Maltese (#098*333*071) included under 2.40 (b)(2) on the report for the April 21, 2015 inspection was no longer at the facility.
