The state does not license or inspect pet shops, kennels, boarding or grooming, so the rules are local: Cheyenne-Laramie County’s board of health may inspect pet sales locations, and most cities license a kennel once more than a set number of dogs are kept. Ask the clerk whether a kennel or pet shop license applies before signing the lease; grooming alone usually needs only the city business license.
