Maintenance and replacement of surfaces. The surface of the wooden flooring in the occupied outdoor enclosures is worn and absorbing liquid. Inside the wooden shelters being used there are areas of chewed, scratched and worn surfaces. The paint is also peeling in areas and exposing unsealed wood. There are two wind and rain break flaps on two shelters that are damaged and fraying. The worn surfaces cannot be properly clean and sanitized. This can create a disease hazard and affect the health and well being of the dogs. The licensee must maintain all surfaces in the housing facility on a regular basis. Surfaces of housing facilities including houses, dens, and other furniture-type fixtures and objects within the facility that cannot be readily cleaned and sanitized, must be replaced when worn or soiled.
