Animal business registrations

You will need a domestic animal business permit to start or transfer an existing business, such as:

  • pet shop
  • boarding establishment
  • dog training establishment
  • breeding and rearing establishment.

You may also need a planning permit if you intend to run the business from your home. 

Please check with us if you are unsure if you require a registration form.
