Service Description: Application for a licence to run a pet shop
Also known as:- Licence - Pet Shop
Answer: Yes. You can sell unwanted puppies from a litter without requiring a licence, providing you are not doing it as part of a business. You should ensure that the persons you sell them to are going to be responsible owners and are capable of looking after them. Make sure they see the mother, and where possible, the father, so that they know what to expect when their pup grows up. Give potential buyers advice on vaccination. You should never sell puppies to children, or in the weeks leading up to Christmas. If you are breeding dogs as part of a business, you must be licenced as a Dog Breeder.
