Most animal businesses require a licence. If they're not on our list of animal activity licence holders, they may not have a licence.
Report an unlicensed animal activity business
To report an unlicensed business to our animal warden team:
In your report, please tell us:
- the business, personal name and address where the activity takes place
- details of the service
- details of your experience with the business
- why you believe they’re operating without a licence
We’ll decide if there’s enough evidence for a full investigation.
If we do investigate, you may need to give a formal written statement. You may also need to make a declaration to support the council as a witness.
Your personal details will be confidential unless the investigation becomes a legal matter.
Read our animal wardens complaint or query privacy notice for information on how we collect, store and process your data.
