- Outdoor shelter floor exposed wood
The floor in the shelter structure in one of the outdoor pens housing 6 dogs was in need of repair. There were 3 areas of the floor where the epoxy was missing and underlying wood was exposed. Two of the areas were approximately 10 inches x 5 inches in size and one area was approximately 4 feet x 1 foot in size. The licensee stated repair was scheduled in a few weeks. Worn floors with exposed wood cannot be adequately cleaned and sanitized and may result in increased disease transmission.
