Licensing - pet shops

A person running a pet shop must hold a licence for it.

How to apply

If you wish to apply for a licence you need to complete an application form. Please contact us for a form. Alternatively you can download one from this page. The form should be returned to us with the correct fee.

Registration process

Before we issue a licence we will inspect the premises. If these are satisfactory we will issue you with a licence. The licence may have certain conditions attached. These might for example relate to the premises or the welfare of the animals.

Enforcement

We will carry out routine inspections of the premises. If we receive a complaint about the establishment we will investigate it.
