Breeding Group Pet Licence

Pets kept for breeding or sale in pet breeding establishments

All cats/dogs that are currently kept in pet breeding establishments for breeding purposes have to be licensed under a breeding group pet licence via the Pet Animal Licensing System (PALS). 

All cats/dogs aged nine weeks and above that are intended for sale by pet breeding establishments must be licensed under a retail group pet licence via PALS. 

When a cat/dog is sold, pet breeding establishments are required to perform the transfer of licensing, be they to individuals or other pet businesses via PALS. 

For step-by-step instructions for the following on pet licensing e-services, please refer to the Pet Animal Licensing System (PALS) user guide.

Applying for a breeding and retail group pet licence  

To obtain the group pet licences, you first need to have a pet breeding licence. We will process the group pet licences for you after you have obtained a valid pet breeding licence.

You must update your group pet licence via PALS if there are any changes to the licence owner and/or cat/dog details. 

Licence fees  

Note: The group pet licence tier is not an approval for pet breeding establishments to keep up to the maximum number in the respective tier. Pet breeding establishments would still need to comply with the breeding licensing conditions.
