With summer vacations ramping up, a lot more pets will be boarded soon. Before choosing a boarding facility you may be wondering how to pick one that will take good care of your dogs and cats. WRAL just did a segment about this concern recently, check it out here: https://www.wral.com/video/north-carolina-records-show-troubling-violations-at-pet-boarding-facilities/22078182/ . And here is the direct link to the Department of Agriculture website they mention so you can look up a kennel you're interested in using: https://apps.ncagr.gov/AgRSysPortalV2/licensesearch . For "License Group/Division", search "Veterinary - Animal Welfare". Then type in the name of the facility under "Licensee/Cardholder" and click search. You can then click on details and attachments to find the inspections done at that facility. And here is the link for the disciplinary actions the Dept of Ag has given as well: https://www.ncagr.gov/divisions/veterinary/AWS/disciplinary-actions . We hope everyone stays cool and safe this summer!
