Who needs a local kennel or pet shop rules in Idaho?

Issued by Your city clerk and county animal control, at step 4 of 6 in the opening sequence: get the permits for your kind of business.

1 of the 20 kinds of business in Idaho

Grooming alone needs only the zoning approval and any city license. Boarding or keeping more than a few dogs and cats brings the local kennel rules, and Boise, Ketchum and Blaine County bar pet stores from selling dogs and cats except from shelters and rescues. Larger breeders and dealers also need the federal USDA Animal Welfare Act license. Ask the clerk and animal control before signing the lease.
