Dog or cat boarding and day care licence
Fees
Some inspections (often first inspections) require a veterinary surgeon to attend. Where this applies their charge is included in our fee. Prices include VAT where appropriate:
- first licence: £364 (to be increased to £379 as of 1 April 2024)
- renewal: £323 (to be increased to £336 as of 1 April 2024)
- grading review: £83 (to be increased to £87 as of 1 April 2024)
- variation: £104 (to be increased to £109 as of 1 April 2024)
A licence is valid for up to 3 years depending on inspection and star grading.
Refunds
Refunds of licence fees are not normally given. Only in exceptional circumstances, as deemed by the Head of Regulatory Services, will a refund be considered. Any refunds given may be subject to an administration charge or reduced if officers or the council’s vet have made site visits.
