The Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018 requires that a licence be required for anyone providing or arranging for the provision of accommodation for other people’s cats or dogs in the course of a business on any premises where the provision of that accommodation is a purpose of the business by:

• Providing boarding for cats;
