Animal licence conditions
Businesses operating with these activities will need to comply with the new conditions, and will be assessed before the licence is granted to make sure they can meet them.
Those businesses operating under current licences will be able to continue to do so until the expiry date of their licence. Current holders of animal boarding and pet shop licences, and any other operator whose licences expire up to December 2018, should apply as soon as possible before their expiry date to ensure they receive their new licences in good time.
