Notes: The inspection date does not reflect the actual date of inspection, but instead the date in which our databases were updated with the most recent inspection. Normally this file will contain inspection records between 2006-2009.

Description: HAPPY TAILS KENNEL
Date: 11/23/2004
Inspection File: None Available
Notes: There were a number of pens with puppies that the one inch by one inch coated wire flooring was large enough for their feet/legs to pass through the openings. Most of these pens had at least one section of drydek mat in the pen; however, the puppies have access to the entire pen and thus were still walking across floor openings too large for their feet/legs that prevent them from passing through. This creates potential for injury and the facility needs to ensure that the entire floor area is covered with the drydek mats or utilize another appropriate method to ensure the puppies' feet and legs do not pass through the floor openings. This will protect them from injury potential. This affects 95 puppies.

This item was corrected during inspection as more mats were added to the pens. The facility needs to monitor this issue daily to ensure that it remains corrected.-

There were four pens in the broker puppy room along with several of the stacked pens in the middle of Run 4 and the corner Sheltie pen in Run 4 that do not meet minimum space requirements. This includes but is not limited to a pen housing four Shelties that provides 22.8 sq. ft. of floor space. Two of the dogs measure 23 inches in length and the other two measure 26 inches in length. These dogs would require a total of 25.8 sq. ft. of space.-

Another pen houses three Bichons measuring 16 inches in length. The pen provides 7.5 sq. ft of space, but these dogs housed together would require 10.2 sq. ft. of space. Inadequate space could affect the health and comfort of the dogs and does not allow for sufficient opportunity for exercise. These dogs need to be separated into smaller groups or moved to larger pens. The facility needs to measure all dogs and pens to ensure that the minimum amount of floor space required is being provided. This affects 44 dogs. This item needs to be corrected by December 7, 2004.-

There were fourteen adult dogs and larger breed puppies that were in pens with less than 6 inches of head room. These dogs were in the whelping rooms and the broker puppy room. Inadequate head space could affect the comfort of the dogs and these need to be moved to pens that provide at least 6 inches of head room. This item was corrected by the facility during inspection.-

The facility needs to monitor this issue daily to ensure that it remains corrected.-

Note: Recent regulation changes were discussed with the licensee during inspection.-

Description: ROUTINE INSPECTION
Date: 1/22/2003
Inspection File: None Available
Notes: Each dealer shall maintain records that contain all required information concerning each dog in his or her possession. The Record of Dogs on Hand needs to be updated to reflect all dogs on the premises. There are 150 adult dogs that need to be added to APHIS Form 7005. The facility does have this information recorded on their own inventory of adult/puppy breeding dogs; however, the inventory (APHIS Form 7005) does still need to be updated to include these additional dogs. The Record of Dogs on Hand needs to kept current to ensure that the facility's records are complete and accurate. Correct by 3/22/03.

No dog shall be transported in commerce by any person unless such dog is at least eight (8) weeks of age and has been weaned. There were 9 puppies sold between 7/02-12/02 that were sold under 8 weeks of age. Four puppies were sold on 7/17/02 at 50 days old, 1 puppy sold on 8/14/02 at 47 days old, 2 puppies sold on 11/6/02 at 50 days old, and 2 puppies sold on 12/4/02 at 50 days old. No puppy may be sold or transported in commerce unless they are 8 weeks of age (56 days old) as this could affect the health of the animals. This affected 9 puppies. Correct with future acquisitions of puppies.

Excreta must be removed from primary enclosures daily to prevent an excessive accumulation of feces and to reduce disease hazards. Sixty of the outdoor runs had more than a days worth of feces accumulated in them. This could affect the health and comfort of the dogs. Feces needs to be removed from primary enclosures daily. This affects 120 adult dogs. Correct by 1/24/03.

Notes:

Description: ROUTINE INSPECTION
Date: 6/12/2002
Inspection File: None Available
Notes: Each dealer shall establish and maintain programs of adequate veterinary care that include the use of appropriate methods to treat diseases and injuries. There were several expired medical drugs found at the facility. Among them were Tylan, Lincocin, Dexamethansone, Amoxicillin, Oxycyclin, Gentamicin, Rimadyl, Levasule, and Vetisulid powder. Using expired medical drugs is not considered acceptable veterinary practice and the use of these drugs could result in injury to the animals. These expired drugs need to be disposed of or kept separately from non-expired medical drugs to prevent any injury to the animals. This item was corrected at the time of inspection as all expired medical drugs were disposed of.

The interior height of a primary enclosure must be at least 6 inches higher than the head of the tallest dog in the enclosure when it is in a normal standing position. In the indoor rooms of the facility, there were 15 kennels that did not have the required 6 inches of head room. These were kennel numbers 482 and 470 in room GR1, number 487 in room 1, number 626 in room 5, numbers 635, 641, 647, 653, and 655 in room 6, numbers 673, 676, 682, and 684 in room 7, and numbers 694 and 703 in room 8. Not providing sufficient head room can affect the comfort and well-being of the dogs. These dogs need to be moved to enclosures that provide the required 6 inches of head space in order to promote the well-being and comfort of the dogs. This affects 15 dogs.
