2. The facility must be clean - Make certain that the sleeping areas are clean. There should be no signs of urination or defecation. As well, there should not be tons of hair on the floor. Make sure that feeding bowls are properly sterilized and/or washed at high temperatures to kill off germs and bacteria.
