You need a licence from the council to operate a dog boarding business.
We will inspect your premises and assess your suitability before granting you a licence. You must show that your facilities meet standards and that you will provide the dogs with good food, exercise, and protection from disease and fire.
Fees
| Home boarding | £300 for new applications and renewals |
Licences last for either one, two or three years, dependent on the animal welfare rating score at the time of the inspection.
