Pet Shops - Pet Animals Act 1951 (as amended)
To run a business selling pet animals you need a licence from the local authority. This includes all commercial selling of pet animals, such as pet shops and businesses selling animals over the internet.
To check the suitability of a premises to be licensed for such purpose an inspection by a licensing officer will be arranged on receipt of the complete application and appropriate fee. Each application is considered on its own merits. Where it's felt necessary a further inspection by a vet may be arranged, the fee for this will need to be paid for by the applicant.
Where a licence is granted it imposes conditions for the feeding, housing and welfare of the animals.
