We provide licences and services dealing with a variety of animals. We are responsible for inspecting and issuing an annual licence for certain types of premises where animals are kept. Before issuing a licence, a Council Inspector will inspect the premises to ensure the health and welfare of the animals.
A licence is required if you:
- Operate a boarding kennel or cattery
- Have kennels for dog breeding
- Run a riding establishment (but not livery stables)
- Run a pet shop
- Keep certain types of dangerous animals.
- Operate a zoo or circus (with performing animals).
