Subject: Concerned about animal's welfare

Hi,

I was hoping to get some feedback from other sitters on something that's been going through my mind for the last 2 weeks. I got a new daily client who owns a kennel and shows dogs. She has 7 dogs that I am to let out to go potty and put them back in their cages. Typically I let them run around the fenced in yard for about 20 minutes too (you should see how they stretch! I've never seen anything like it). I'm highly concerned about these dogs however because they're stuck in rather small cages (which are really just Pet Taxi brand cages that are usually used for taking your pet to the vet, etc.). They can hardly stand up without hitting the top and in some, there are 2 dogs together. We had 100 degree weather about a week ago and there was not a fan on for these dogs. There was no A/C either and the single window in the room was open. I'm seriously concerned about the welfare of these animals, they have all types of cuts on their faces and bodies from smashing themselves against the front of the cages and I feel they are not kept in very humane conditions. I would feel horrible "ratting out" a customer to Animal Welfare, but I don't know how much longer I can stand to see the condition they're in.
What do you think?
Thank you.
