Dogs die when kennel heater malfunctions
#8
I have found out some more about this facility. Daycare dogs were not fed at all, even if between the hours of 7 am to 6 pm (7H to 18H):
"Feeding is generally not necessary during daycare however specific medical conditions or special requests will be
accepted."

That seem to me a long time to go without any food at all.

Fresh water is provided, but no effort is apparently taken to check that dogs have drunk it:
"Fresh water is always available for daycare dogs in all parks and at several stations. After daycare, some dogs may be extremely thirsty as they may have been too distracted or excited to drink enough water throughout their day."

For boarding dogs, pet caretakers have to provide their own dog food at their own expense, or else pay extra:
"We can supply food for your dog or cat (fees may apply) but it is best for your pet if they stay on their regular diet to avoid stomach upset."

The fees are $20 per day plus $30 per night.

These people are charging money and are not a charity. Charging money involves providing a service and adequate supervision 24/7. It would seem that they were cutting corners and did not act on safety warnings. There is a case to answer.
