King County's Board of Health is reworking its regulations and permits webpage for pet businesses, following two high-profile fires at The Dog Resort locations in Seattle.

In a recent announcement during the King County Board of Health meeting on Thursday, officials unveiled plans to enhance transparency and safety in the pet care industry. Starting in the second quarter of 2024, Public Health will expand its pet business regulations and permits webpage. This update will include a comprehensive list of permitted establishments, any active permit suspensions and instructions on how pet owners can access inspection history.

Public Health inactivated the permit following the fire.
