  • Bernese Mountain Dogs greasy ear buildup

    There were four Bernese Mountain dogs (Maggie, Rocky, Sofy, Kate) that had a moderate buildup of dark brown, greasy material in one or both ears that has not been observed until during the inspection. Daily observations have not been done and the licensee admitted to not doing daily ear checks for some time. The lack of daily observations can cause a minor treatable health issue to become more severe or chronic causing unnecessary pain or discomfort to the regulated animal over time. Daily observation of all animals to assess their health and well-being; Provided, however, That daily observation of animals may be accomplished by someone other than the attending veterinarian; and Provided, further, That a mechanism of direct and frequent communication is required so that timely and accurate information on problems of animal health, behavior, and well-being is conveyed to the attending veterinarian; To be corrected by: January 3, 2025

  • Outdoor runs greasy buildup, missing door trims

    There are six outdoor run areas that have a moderate buildup of a dark brown greasy material on both sides of the door flaps and outdoor metal walls around the flap doors where the dogs bodies rub against the wall. While the inside of the primary enclosures are being cleaned and sanitized often, the door flaps and the walls on the outside of the doors in the run areas need to be cleaned and sanitized more often in order to prevent the buildup of dirt. There are 6 missing door trims that have been removed allowing for an accumulation of dirt and debris in the gaps of the metal at the bottom of the doors on the side in the outdoor runs. The metal frames need to be replaced or the metal fixed tightly to the frame in order to prevent the accumulation of dirt/debris in the gap area. The buildup of dirt and debris on surfaces the dogs come in contact with can be a possible source of disease or other health issues. Surfaces must be cleaned/sanitized and kept in good repair in order to prevent possible health issues with the regulated animals. Used primary enclosures and food and water receptacles for dogs and cats must be sanitized at least once every 2 weeks using one of the methods prescribed in paragraph (b)(3) of this section, and more often if necessary to prevent an accumulation of dirt, debris, food waste, excreta, and other disease hazards.
