Animal Control Ordinance <br />Adopted 1/21/2016 Unified Animal Control Ordinance Page 34 <br />Effective 3/1/2016 <br />that holds or keeps animals, excluding domesticated livestock, for the purpose of cleaning <br />or grooming. <br /> <br />(b) Standards for Pet Shops. All pet shops, including pet shops run in conjunction with <br />another animal facility, shall, in addition to the other requirements of this article, comply <br />with the minimum standards of this section. The premises for pet shops shall meet the <br />following standards: <br /> <br />(1) There shall be available hot water at a minimum temperature of 140 <br />degrees Fahrenheit for washing cages and disinfecting, and cold water <br />easily accessible to all parts of the shop. <br /> <br />(2) Fresh water shall be available to all species at all times. Containers are to <br />be cleaned and disinfected each day. All water containers shall be <br />removable for cleaning and be mounted so the animal cannot turn them <br />over or defecate in them. <br /> <br />(3) The temperature of the area around the animal enclosures in the shop shall <br />be maintained at a level that is healthful for every species of animals kept <br />in the shop. <br /> <br />(4) All cages and enclosures are to be of a nonporous material for easy <br />cleaning and disinfecting. Each cage must be of sufficient size that the <br />animal will have room to stand, turn, lie down and stretch out to its full <br />length without touching the sides or tops of the enclosure, and floors of <br />sufficient strength and design to ensure the animal's limbs or paws cannot <br />pass through the floor material. <br /> <br />(5) All animals under three months of age are to be fed at least two times per <br />24 hours. Food for all animals shall be free from contamination, <br />wholesome, palatable and of sufficient quantity and nutritive value to meet <br />the normal daily requirements for the condition and size of the animal. <br />Food for all animals shall be served in a clean dish so mounted that the <br />animal cannot readily tip it over, and shall be of the removal type. <br /> <br />(6) Each bird must have a perch and sufficient room to sit on a perch. Perches <br />shall be placed horizontal to each other in the same cage. Cages and <br />perches must be cleaned every day, and cages must be disinfected when <br />birds are sold or as otherwise transferred. Parrots and other large birds <br />shall have separate cages from smaller birds. <br /> <br />(7) There shall be sufficient clean, dry bedding to meet the needs of each <br />individual animal. Provision shall be made for the removal and disposal of <br />animal and food waste, bedding and debris, to ensure the enclosure is <br />maintained in a clean and sanitary manner. <br />
