Seventy-five dogs were killed in a fire at a Texas pet resort last September.
When the fire occurred, there was no staffing overnight at the time and no sprinkler system was in place.
Changes to the fire codes in Georgetown, Texas, have already been approved for animal care facilities.
Locally, it appears Palm Beach County's fire code for sprinklers is stricter than the state's code.
What happened at the Ponderosa Pet Resort in Texas is a real fear for pet owners who use boarding facilities.
"There's a lot of care, there's a lot of affection that goes into it, so of course you want them to be taken care of by somebody who will care about them as much as you do," said Lyndon Brown, a local pet owner. Brown has had his pit bull mix Mia for six years.
"I always joke and say she's the longest relationship Iâve had, so they do become like your children," Brown said.
