Animal Licensing Fees: Combination Licences

If you are a Commercial Business with 2 different Animal Activities you can apply for a Combination Licence.

This only applies to Animal Boarding activities.

Both activities are inspected independently and risk rated, you would be granted 1 licence with a star rating which relates to the lowest rating aspect of your business. i.e. if you have kennels which are rated a 3 star but a cattery which is rated 5 stars your licence will be for 3 stars.

Animal Licensing fees come in 2 parts. The Application Fee must be submitted with your application paperwork and is non refundable if your application is refused.
