Animal Boarding Establishments

The following activities being undertaken in the course of a business will require an 'Animal Activity Licence' under The Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018:

  •  Providing boarding for cats
  •  Providing boarding in kennels for dogs
  •  Providing home boarding for dogs
  •  Providing day care for dogs

After applying for a licence an inspection will be completed by a Council Officer and, if necessary, a veterinary surgeon. If a veterinary inspection is required, you will have to pay for this.

During your inspection, you will be risk rated and given a star rating of 1-5. To achieve a higher star rating, you will need to meet higher standards. Your star rating will determine your licence length and licences can last from 1 to 3 years depending on the star rating achieved.  This is explained in further detail in the licence conditions and guidance relevant to your business:

Completed application forms can be returned to the Council either via post or email.  In order for your application to be processed further, you must pay the appropriate fee as stated on our 'Application Forms & Fees' webpage.
