Dogs - Home Boarding
In Test Valley any person boarding dogs in their own home must
be licensed under the Animal Boarding Establishments Act
1963.
Licences are valid for one year
and are issued following a successful inspection by the Animal
Welfare Officer. The inspection is to ensure that the
standards and conditions required by the Act are adhered to and
that the premises are suitable for boarding dogs. Also to
ensure that the applicant has suitable experience and
qualifications to care for the animals they board. The number
of dogs permitted to be boarded at any one time will be listed on
the Licence.
Unannounced visits are made throughout the Licence period to
ensure standards are being maintained.
There is an annual fee for the Licence which must accompany
the application.
For more information and an application form, please contact
the Animal Welfare Officer.
