Animal Boarding

The keeping and running of animal boarding establishments (catteries and kennels) is controlled by the Animal Boarding Establishments Act 1963 External Hyperlink (opens in new window).

No person may keep a boarding establishment for cats and dogs in Fareham without first obtaining a licence from us.

A "boarding establishment" also includes the business of home boarding and doggy day care or crèches.
