Licence Summary
Any person carrying on a business of boarding dogs and cats must be licensed to do so by their Local Authority. In Selby District, there are a number of boarding establishments listed below which are licensed to board animals under the Animal Boarding Establishments Act. These establishments are inspected at least once a year, before we issue a licence. We pay particular attention to the construction and conditions of buildings and the welfare of boarded animals.
The licence which is issued by us should be on display at the premises at all times. Whilst all licensed premises meet at least the minimum standards of the Model Licence Conditions adopted by this Council, we advise all pet owners to check that the services offered by the establishments meet with their individual requirements.
Eligibility Criteria
An applicant must not be disqualified from any of the following at the time of the application:
- Keeping an Animal Boarding establishment.

In Scotland an applicant must also not be disqualified from working with, using, driving or riding animals, providing services to animals that would involve taking possession of them, taking possession of an animal to carry out any of the activities listed or taking charge of animals for any other purpose.
Any pet owner within the Selby District who has concerns about the conditions or practices at any licensed premises should contact us without delay and immediate action will be taken.
