Animals and pests

Our dedicated Animal health team ensure farms, pet shops, kennels, and other animal-related businesses comply with legislation.


We monitor animals for signs of neglect, enforce licensing requirements, and respond to outbreaks of zoonotic diseases, helping to prevent risks posed to both animals and the wider community. 


Our collaboration with both veterinary services and the public also help to maintaining high standards of care and promote responsible animal ownership.
