Saskatoon kennel takes steps to ensure safety after 14 pets die

A Saskatoon kennel is trying to restore faith in its clients after an electrical failure claimed the lives of 14 dogs earlier this month.

Playful Paws Pet Center posted to Facebook Wednesday outlining what has changed since the tragedy Sept. 10.

According to the kennel, the accident was caused by an electrical malfunction within the heating and air conditioning systems.
 
“While the investigation to determine the root cause of this failure continues, we immediately repaired and replaced the faulty equipment,” the post reads.

The kennel modified its alarm system to include temperature sensors that will notify the manager’s phone if it gets too hot or too cold.

The staff member who wrote the post added the entire team is struggling to cope with the tragedy.
