Animal Boarding
Under the Animal Boarding Establishments Act 1963, anyone who wants to run a business providing accommodation for other people’s cats and dogs must get a licence from the Council.
Before we can give a licence, we must be satisfied that:
- the premises are adequate in terms of construction, size of quarters, number of animals, exercise facilities, temperature, lighting, ventilation and cleanliness
- that animals will be adequately fed, watered and exercised, have suitable bedding material, and be visited at suitable intervals
- that the proper precautions are in place in case of infectious disease
- that there are precautions in place in case of fire or another emergency
- that a register is kept containing descriptions of animals received together with arrival and departure dates
Fees
£3.00 per animal (£80.00 minimum £120.00 maximum)
We have model conditions for boarding kennels and catteries and Home Boarding, for further details please contact us using the details at the top of this page.
