Please use this form to report your concerns regarding Animal Safety or Welfare at a business that are, or should be, licensed by Preston City Council. Licensed businesses include:
The Council does not investigate animal welfare concerns at Dog groomers, Dog Walkers, on Farms or at Vets. Select I want to make a complaint about abused or neglected pet animals or livestock from the option below.
Please note: we can only deal with businesses or premises within the Preston City Council area. If the business or premises you wish to report is outside of our area, or you are not sure which Council to report the business or premises to, please visit GOV.UK - Find your local council and use their postcode checker to find the relevant local authority.
Not all complaints will be investigated. The Council’s response will be informed by the severity of the allegation, the premises compliance history and the Council’s available resources. If your request for service falls outside the Council’s regulatory remit, you will be advised of the appropriate enforcing authority. Legitimate service requests not requiring an urgent response will be held on file and reviewed during the license application/renewal process, or if further complaints are received.
Preston City Council will use your information in a manner compatible with the General Data Protection Regulation. Any disclosures or sharing of information will only take place where required or permitted by law. For further information please see our privacy notice.
