If you have some surface that can't be cleaned for some reason, you can still replace it. I would think most pet owners have surfaces that can be cleaned. Sanitize doesn't only mean sterilized, it means clean “by removing unwanted filth from it”. I think we have to use some common sense here. |
Oh Nancy please post for me where USDA has approved a whole home. And we are using common sense here. I will not remove my kitchen cabinets, nor can I sanitize them, nor my leather furniture in the living room.
Please do more research on what other breeders are saying. I respect and admire your passion for making sure PuppyMills are no more. But this regulation is very poorly worded and thought out for hobby breeders, who want to keep their dogs in their own less than "sanitized" home.
And this little change of Regulation has now gone National. IT is a BIG DEAL.
