Pets and the Law
The law that protects pets is changing. If you keep pets,
or are thinking of getting a pet, you will have a legal
responsibility to meet their welfare needs.
The Animal Welfare Act requires anyone who is responsible for a
pet to do what is reasonable to meet their welfare needs - these
include:-
- A proper diet (including water)
- Somewhere suitable to live
- Any need to be housed with, or apart from, other animals
- Allowing animals to express normal behaviour
- Protection from pain, suffering, injury and disease
The penalty for failing to care for a pet could be a fine or
even a prison sentence.

Welfare Act at www.rspca.org.uk/petcare or

Pet Shops
There are a number of
licenced Pet Shops in Eastleigh Borough. All shops that
sell animals must be licensed, and the licence
should be displayed in the shop.
The
Pet Animals Act 1951 authorises Local Authorities to control
the sale of pet animals.
What if? I WANT
TO SET UP A PET SHOP
You will require planning permission and a Pet Shop
licence. You should contact the Planning Unit on
planning@eastleigh.gov.uk
and contact our Animal Welfare Officers for a copy of the licence
conditions. You should also contact your insurance company who will
advise you on any insurance you may need, and our Health & Safety Officer can also
offer advice.
What if? I ONLY SELL
PET FOOD
You do not require a Pet Shop licence if you do not sell
animals.
What if? I WANT TO SELL
ANIMALS IN MY EXISTING PET SUNDRIES SHOP

Pollution Prevention and
Control Regulations 2000 (divided into Part A1, regulated by
the Environment Agency and Part A2 or B, regulated by the
Council). The processes are regularly inspected to
ensure that they meet the conditions of
their permit.
Examples of the most common industrial processes regulated by
the Council are, car body shops. cement batching, petrol
stations.
