<dp-prose> <p>This page includes a list of current animal licence holders, their location, licence expiry date, and their current star rating. See below a description of how the star rating is calculated.

All businesses should meet the minimum standards to get a licence and therefore receive a 2 or 3 rating. However, minor failings that do not compromise the welfare of animals, e.g., administrative issues, may allow for a licence but with a rating of 1 star.</p> <p>The guidance to the Regulations is specific to the type of activity and includes a number of higher standards which businesses may aspire to. To receive a higher standard rating as these are not mandatory to obtain a licence. The higher standards are divided into required and optional; a business needs to meet all the required higher standards and a minimum of 50% of the optional higher standards to qualify as meeting the higher standards.</p> <p>All new and current businesses without three years of previous compliance history with a local authority will be automatically rated high risk.</p> </dp-prose>
