Selling animal as pets
You need a licence if you sell animals as pets in the course of a business. This includes the import, distribution and sale of animals by a business. It applies to domestic premises and traditional pet shops where animals are available for purchase.
Failure to adhere to the statutory guidance will result in the Council refusing to grant a licence or renew a current licence.
