FREE - Home Dog Boarding Licence Resource Pack
Start here before you write a single policy
Applying for a home dog boarding licence can mean jumping between government guidance, legislation, local council documents and inspection requirements.
I’ve brought the key freely available official resources together in one place so you can start with the right information.
Inside you’ll find links to:
- The Animal Welfare Act 2006
- The Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018
- Home Boarding for Dogs Licensing: Statutory Guidance for Local Authorities
- The licence conditions and higher standards
- Guidance on the Preventative Healthcare Plan
- The areas your council will be looking at during inspection
- Where to find your own local authority’s home boarding guidance and application information
Plus a short explanation of what each document is for and why it matters.
No hunting. No confusing versions. Just the right place to start.
