Kennel Inspection

Inspection of the kennel took place on May 7, 2014. There were a total of 44 adult dogs and 11 puppies
located on the premises at the time of this inspection. The 2013 kennel license was viewed. The 2014 kennel
license is pending approval. The inspection was performed with State Veterinarian Dr. Ward and SDW Ed Bunt.

The inspection of May 7, 2014 is as follows:

21.21 (c) / 207 (b) - Drainage

Wardens observed ponding water in the primary enclosures where dogs were being housed. There was also
standing water and a build up of debris and feces in the drainage trough.

This warden recommends that the kennel owner take the following action(s):

Adequate drains shall be provided to rapidly eliminate excess water from housing facilities.

21.29 (a) / 207 (b) Excreta

Wardens observed feces in the primary enclosures, where dogs were being housed, that had been there for more
than a day.

This warden recommends that the kennel owner take the following action(s):

Excreta shall be removed from the primary enclosure, including any floor area or ground surface beneath the
primary enclosure, on a daily basis.

21.29 (b) / 207 (b) Sanitation

Wardens observed that when sanitizing primary enclosures, where dogs were being housed, that no cleaning
agent was being used with the water to sanitize the primary enclosures.

This warden recommends that the kennel owner take the following action(s):

Primary enclosures for dogs shall be sanitized a minimum of once daily, and as often as is necessary to
prevent an accumulation of debris or excreta or a disease hazard. A dog may not be placed in a primary
enclosure previously occupied unless the enclosure has been sanitized.

21.29 (c) / 207 (b) Housekeeping/Pests

Wardens observed dog mats in primary enclosures, where dogs were being housed, that needed to be replaced due
to general wear and tear. There was also excessive straw and debris around the kennel grounds that needed to
be cleaned up to prevent the possibility of a rodent or insect problem.

This warden recommends that the kennel owner take the following action(s):

The buildings and grounds of kennels shall be maintained, kept clean and in good repair to protect the animal
from injury and to facilitate practices required by this chapter. Kennels shall have an effective program
that controls ingress by insects, ectoparasites and avian and mammalian pests. Evidence of insects,
ectoparasites and avian and mammalian pests or conditions that would allow or encourage infestation in a
kennel are indicative of an ineffective program and unsanitary environmental sanitation in the kennel.

21.30 / 207 (b) Condition of Dog

Wardens observed multiple dogs at the kennel that had outward signs of health issues and there was no
paperwork to indicate that the dogs had received any type of veterinary care. A cruelty referral was made to
the PSPCA.

This warden recommends that the kennel owner take the following action(s):
An employee of the Department may visually observe the physical condition of a dog sheltered at a kennel. A
dog sheltered at a kennel shall be free of infectious and contagious diseases, and shall be in general good
health. If a dog exhibits signs of poor health, the kennel owner shall have proof of adequate veterinary care
for the dog.

402

Veterinary examinations were ordered on dogs under section 402(a) based on wardens observations of the
condition of dogs during an inspection. Kennel was in compliance with section 402(d) because veterinary
examinations were completed within the 72 hour time frame.

A reinspection of the kennel is required, and will be performed at a later date.

Remarks
Actions which are directed to be taken are not all that may be required of the kennel operator to come into compliance.
The kennel operator is responsible for taking any and all actions necessary to come into compliance.
