Licensed premises for animals
Where permission has been granted by the licence holder, we maintain a list of animal activity licences issued, including their ratings.
This is a list of businesses that have granted permission for us to publish their details. All licence holders must legally display a copy of their licence at the premises and include their licence number on their website.
If a premises is not listed here, and you are not certain if it is licensed or if it requires a licence, email us at licensing@swindon.gov.uk with the full details.
A key part of animal activity licences relates to the 'star rating'. This is awarded as part of a risk-based inspection system. This system is used to determine the length of the licence issued and the star rating awarded.
Star ratings range from 1 star to 5 stars. The higher the standard of the business, the longer the licence can be issued for. This can be between one and three years.
The star rating of a business considers both welfare standards and the level of risk. This is based on elements of past performance and compliance.
