If you intend to keep a wild or exotic animal, by law, you have to apply to us for a licence. Check the full list of animals you need a licence for.
How much it costs
The charge for a licence depends on the species and number of animals you want to keep. Please call us on (01226) 773743 to discuss this further.
You can pay this over the phone by debit or credit card. Check our pay page to see which cards we accept.
How to get a licence
Contact us for advice in the first instance as we'll need to arrange an inspection of your premises, before we grant a licence, to make sure that you have the appropriate arrangements in place to care for the animals.
