When are facilities subject to inspection?

Facilities are subject to inspection anytime during normal business hours to ensure compliance with regulations and standards set forth by veterinary practice authorities. This allows for proactive oversight and helps maintain the health and safety standards within veterinary practices. Regular inspections can identify potential issues before they become significant problems, ensuring the welfare of animals and the quality of care provided.

This approach to inspections is essential for safeguarding public health and ensuring that veterinary practices operate within the legal and ethical frameworks required for licensing. Although inspections may occur during specific circumstances, such as complaints or licensing renewals, the standard protocol of permitting inspections during normal business hours enhances oversight and accountability in the practice.
