Animal Welfare
Our Animal Welfare Officer regularly inspects all premises that
need to comply with an animal welfare licence. This includes pet
shops, kennels, catteries, riding establishments, dog breeding
premises and zoos.
Premises are licensed annually and must comply with set licence
conditions that are applicable to the specific premises. Other
licensable premises may also require the expert knowledge of a
veterinary inspector, who undertakes the inspection with the
council officer.
We also investigate complaints from members of the public regarding
these activities.
