In at least two outdoor enclosures, containing three Golden retrievers, there is a thick buildup of dirt on the interior walls of the shelters. In the enclosure containing two young adult Golden retrievers there is also a buildup of dirt on the wooden floor of the enclosure. The buildup of dirt could increase the risk of disease towards the dogs. Used primary enclosures for dogs must be sanitized at least once every two weeks, or more often if necessary to prevent the buildup of dirt, debris, food waste, excreta, and other disease hazards. The licensee must remove the buildup of dirt from the interior surfaces of the shelters. The licensee must ensure that the buildup of dirt on the surfaces of all used primary enclosures is eliminated for the health and well-being of the dogs.
