Who needs a pet shop, commercial kennel or grooming facility license in Connecticut?
Issued by Connecticut Department of Agriculture, Animal Control Division (C.G.S. 22-344), at step 4 of 6 in the opening sequence: get the permits for your kind of business.
Unlike most states, Connecticut licenses grooming at the state level: a groomer, a boarder and a pet seller each hold their own license, and a shop doing all three holds all three. A first application carries the town zoning officer’s certification that the location conforms to zoning, and the Department inspects before issuing. A pet shop selling dogs or cats keeps the health certificates and source records the statute requires.
