This is another reason I’d never board my dogs. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard a story like this but they don’t always have good outcomes. Idk why these places don’t have sprinklers . I’d rather have a cold wet dog than a dead dog.

Bc sprinklers are insanely expensive to install. If they are not mandated by law to have them, no one would voluntarily put them in.

It's also insanely expensive to have owners sue you after you killed the animal you left in their care. We had a fire about a year ago in Georgetown, TX. 75 dogs died. The owners are suing. There wasn't a fire suppression system and no one on 24/7 watching the dogs. They claimed to have cameras. If they did, it didn't save the dogs.

Years ago, my vet wanted our dog to arrive the night before a surgery. When I asked if someone stayed with the animals, I was told no. I made a deal with them to arrive early that day. I couldn't live with myself if something happened.

Sprinklers are expensive as fuck, require maintenance, and are a nightmare to work with unless you have drop ceilings (even then kind of a PITA).

Virtually no place is going to put them in if someone isn't forcing them to with a law or building code.
