No. Anybody found guilty of running an animal boarding establishment without a licence may be subject to a fine or three months imprisonment or both.

The number of cats and dogs that you may provide accommodation for will be specified as part of your licence application by your local council.

An animal boarding establishment licence will last for 12 months, to continue operating a boarding kennel, a licence will need to be renewed.
