Animal Health and Welfare Licensing

We regulate certain business activities which involve animals, to safeguard animal health and welfare. We do this by issuing licences and carrying out inspections on premises to make sure that conditions and regulations are complied with.

We issue licences for :

• Animal Boarding Establishments
• Dog Breeding
• Pet Shops
• Riding Establishments
• Zoos
• Performing Animals
• Dangerous Wild Animals

Most licences are renewable annually.

Fees for licences are reviewed every two years and come into force in July.

Further Information

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) are able to provide specialist animal health and welfare information and advice.
