5-1-1408: FACILITIES FOR HOUSING ANIMALS:

Facilities for housing animals in pet shops shall comply with the following requirements:

A. The building in which the pet shop is located shall be structurally sound and maintained in good repair.

B. The interior surfaces of the pet shop shall be constructed and maintained so that they are substantially impervious to moisture and may be readily sanitized.

C. The pet shop shall be sufficiently heated to protect the animals from cold and to provide for their health and comfort. The ambient temperature shall not be allowed to fall below sixty degrees Fahrenheit (60 F) for animals not acclimated to lower temperatures.

D. The pet shop shall be adequately ventilated to provide for the health and comfort of the animals. Fresh air shall be provided by means of windows, doors, vents, or air conditioning and the building shall be ventilated so as to minimize drafts, odors, and moisture condensation. Auxiliary ventilation, such as exhaust fans and vents or air conditioning, shall be provided when the ambient temperature is ninety degrees Fahrenheit (90 F) or higher.

E. The pet shop shall be provided with ample light by natural or artificial means, or both, of good quality and well distributed. The lighting shall provide uniformly distributed illumination of sufficient light intensity to permit routine inspection and cleaning during the entire working period.

F. The pet shop shall be provided with suitable means to rapidly eliminate excess water. If drains are used, they shall be properly constructed and kept in good repair to avoid foul odors therefrom. If closed drainage systems are used, they shall be equipped with traps and so installed as to prevent any backup of sewage onto the floor of the room. Under no condition shall animal droppings or other waste material be drained so as to be deposited on public rights of way, adjoining properties or other portions of the kennel premises.
