(c) Surfaces. (2) Maintenance and replacement of surfaces. ***In the whelping house, there were two enclosures containing bred females that had plastic type whelping boxes that were cracked and chipped. In the adult sheltered facility, there were black rubber bowls that were being used for beds. Two of these bowls were chewed on the side walls. All of these beds had chewed around the edges preventing appropriate cleaning. Chewed, chipped and cracked surfaces can prevent proper cleaning and can increase the risk of injury and disease to the puppies and adults by harboring pests. The licensee must repair or replace these surfaces as required. To be corrected by August 24,2015.
