The licence that you need to obtain to sell animals will have a fee attached to it. This fee varies from region to region. Your local authority or Environmental Health Department should be able to give you the current costs. Your licensing solicitor may also have this information. For your licence to be granted, your business must meet what are called the National Pet Shop Licensing Conditions. Again, your licensing solicitor can help you interpret these conditions, as they may mean you must make changes to your shop before your licence is granted. In addition to the general licence you would need, if your shop wants to sell exotic animals, additional licenses may be required. Your local authority or the licensing solicitor you are working with should be able to give more detailed information about these licenses. In addition, your local Trading Standards Department may be able to answer specific questions. Also, if you want to sell certain types of restricted medicines for animals including POM-VPS and NFA-VPS, you will need to train someone and register your business with the Animal Medicines Training Regulatory Authority (AMTRA). There isn’t any licensing system for these drugs, but you must register your business as one that sells them to the public. Any pet shop that sells animals and also wants to offer pet insurance to their customers would be regulated by the FSA (Financial Service Authority). Speak with your licensing solicitor about offering these services, as you may require a licence or at least to register with the FSA. Additional licences you may need could include a performance licence if you play music in your shop. Music is copyrighted and as such any broadcast is protected by licensing laws.
