If your business breeds and sells dogs, either from a commercial property or from your home then you will need a dog breeding licence.
You'll need to pay a non-refundable fee of £137.50 to apply and a further £170.50 if the licence is granted. You'll also be responsible for paying any vets fees.
As part of your application you'll need to submit copies of the following:
- plan of the premises
- operating procedures
- insurance policy
- risk assessments (including fire)
- qualification and training records
- infection control procedure
You'll need to return your form and supporting documents to envhealth@canterbury.gov.uk. You can also email the team if you have any questions before applying.
To pay the application fee you can:
- call 01227 862 427 to make a phone payment
- send a cheque made payable to Canterbury City Council
