The self-feeders in the large dog building have a build-up of grime and food debris on the inside of the "bowl" section in contact with the food. Also in the big dog building, the edges of the water buckets are chewed and soiled. These chewed edges prevent correct cleaning and sanitization. Food and water receptacles that are not cleaned and sanitized sufficiently can plan a role in disease transmission. The licensee must ensure that used food and water receptacles for dogs and cats must be sanitized at least once every 2 weeks using one of the methods prescribed in paragraph (b)(3) of this section, and more often if necessary to prevent an accumulation of dirt, debris, food waste, excreta, and other disease hazards. To be corrected by 9 May 2023.
