What inspectors wrote
September 13, 2023 — Routine inspection, USDA 31-A-0659
52 dogs recorded (27 adults · 25 puppies).
Unlabeled medication jar
There is a glass jar on the counter in the kennel that contains an opaque, light-yellow liquid. There is no labeling on the jar. The licensee states it is a mixture of 30 tablets of 500mg Metronidazole, 120 ml of Albon, and 120 ml of Safegard and it was approved for use by the Attending Veterinarian. The APHIS official spoke with the Attending Veterinarian to confirm that statement. Unlabeled medications can be problematic if the contents are unknown, expired, or if the dose of the concoction is unknown. Correct by ensuring that all medications are properly labeled and not expired, so the licensee is able to use the appropriate methods to prevent, control, diagnose, and treat diseases. Correct by: September 27, 2023.
Barbed wire on dog enclosures
There are two enclosures housing a total of 5 dogs that have barbed wire along the top of the chain link paneling to discourage dogs climbing the walls. Barbed wire can be dangerous as it can cause wounds or other injury to the dogs if they come into contact with the sharp points of the wires. Correct by ensuring the housing facilities are free from jagged edges or sharp points that might inure the animals. Correct by: September 27, 2023.
Adult dog vaccination records missing
There are no records of vaccinations for adult dogs retained by the facility. The facility reports a 7 way vaccine (including distemper and parvovirus) was given to all adult dogs at the beginning of 2023 but there is no written record kept. Per the Attending Veterinarian this information is correct. Written records of vaccinations help determine the vaccination status and vaccination due dates of all individuals at the facility. Correct by creating and maintaining a written document of the names of all vaccines administered and the dates of administration for each dog, or by creating and maintaining a kennel record. Correct by: September 27, 2023
Heartworm and fecal test records missing
There are no records of heartworm testing or fecal testing retained by the facility. The APHIS official spoke with the Attending Veterinarian to confirm that testing had been done. Maintaining complete medical records for animals housed at the facility ensures that individuals are getting the care needed for preventable diseases and for evaluating the effectiveness of a parasite control program. Correct by retaining documentation and results of all diagnostic testing done for animals of the facility. Correct by: October 1, 2023.
July 22, 2024 — Routine inspection, USDA 31-A-0659
35 dogs recorded (21 adults · 14 puppies).
No fecal parasite testing

The Program of Vet Care (PVC) that the facility has does not specify a schedule for which this sampling is to be done. Sampling and treatment of parasites, such as worms, coccidia, and giardia, (which are found by fecal testing), as prescribed by the PVC, is a way for APHIS inspectors to assess that adequate veterinary care is being given to dogs at licensed facilities. Correct by receiving guidance by the Attending Veterinarian, to implement a schedule for sampling and treatment of parasites. Correct by July 29, 2024.
September 25, 2025 — Routine inspection, Ohio CB0018LV
36 dogs recorded (19 adults · 17 puppies).
