Inside the "Reefer/Cooler Building" the plastic feeders inside the five enclosures housing a total of 30 adult dogs has excess amount of dirt/grime build-up on the outside indicating that the receptacles have not been properly cleaned and sanitized. There is one food receptacle with chewed edge inside the "Small Blue Building". The chewed edge is deeply pitted making it difficult to sanitize. When surfaces are not sanitized they can play a role in disease transmission. Food receptacles that are not clean and sanitized can lead to disease transmission, decreased appetite, and when the receptacles become worn or chewed to the point they cannot be sanitized, they must be replaced. The licensee must ensure all food receptacles be cleaned and sanitized according to 3.11 (b) or replaced when worn or chewed. To be corrected by September 11, 2014. An exit interview was conducted with the licensee. Additional Inspectors Rhodes Cindy, Animal Care Inspector
