In order to achieve the best star rating possible each premises will need to have covered all of the standard conditions and have all consents, policies and procedures in place.\nIf all the required minimum conditions are met then a 3 star 2 year licence can be achieved, however if you are found to have minor failings during your inspection then a 1 star 1 year licence will be issued. Any new businesses are automatically classed as high risk due to them not having any compliance history, therefore they cannot achieve a 5 star 3 year licence. New businesses are also not permitted to have any minor failings, therefore if any of the minimum conditions aren’t met then a licence will not be issued.\nIn order to meet the highest possible rating for both the high and low risk categories in the rating matrix certain extra conditions will need to be met. The higher standards are classified in to two types: required and optional and are outlined below. Higher standards that appear in blue text are required, whereas those that appear in red text are optional. To qualify as meeting the higher standards, the business needs to achieve all of the required higher standards as well as a minimum of 50% of the optional higher\nRequired\nStaffing levels will be 1 full-time equivalent attendant per 10 adult dogs kept.\nAll individual dogs must be inspected at least once at an appropriate interval during the out of hours period (e.g. 1800-0800).\nDogs must be provided with a design and layout that provides them with choice beyond minimum enrichment requirements. This can be achieved by, for example, inclusion of raised platforms or more than one room.\nDogs must be fed twice a day with a feeding plan for each dog balancing feeding with food enrichment such as use of scatter feeders.
