List of Licenced Providers

Local authorities are expected to publish a list of licenced premises and their star rating.  The list is of those premises licenced to the date shown on the list.  Premises appear in star rating order and as extracted from the database so no preference is given to those at the top of the list. The rating is based on a number of issues including written procedures so does not indicate any concerns regarding animal welfare.

Please be aware that the list does not include:

  • Applications that are still being processed, these will be included once the licence has been issued.
  • Franchise host dog boarders that do not need a licence in their own right.
  • Premises that have been assessed as being out of scope and do not require a licence.
  • Dog walkers as this activity does not need a licence.
