Winter support

Colchester Borough Council is providing support for residents, businesses and communities throughout winter.

Dog day care

Study the guidance carefully before applying for this licence. No overnight boarding is allowed.

Minimum requirements must be met. The number of dogs allowed depends on the space available for both activity and rest, considering all aspects of the Five Welfare Needs:

  • a suitable environment
  • a suitable diet
  • the ability to exhibit normal behaviour patterns
  • suitable housing for the animal’s needs
  • protection from pain, suffering, injury, and disease

For further information, contact the animal licensing officer at: Food.team@Colchester.gov.uk
