Animal Licensing

You need a licence if you are going to sell animals as pets, provide animal boarding, hire out horses, breed dogs or keep or train animals for exhibition

You must hold a licence from us if you wish to keep a dangerous wild animal (other than at a licensed zoo or specialist pet shop, a circus or a scientific institution), under the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976

A Zoo licence from the Council is needed if wild animals are exhibited to the general public on more than seven days in any 12 consecutive months
