This animal boarding initial inspection checklist supports licensing compliance for kennels and catteries. It covers licence display and insurance, staff training and animal welfare, maximum numbers, registers and recordkeeping, and the presence of a fit and proper person. Facility standards include sleeping and exercise unit requirements for dogs and cats, construction and materials, ventilation, lighting, drainage, and secure corridors. Operational checks include temperature control and monitoring, bedding hygiene, food and water provision, kitchen facilities and cross-contamination prevention, cleaning and waste disposal. Infection control verifies vaccination records, isolation facilities, first aid, pest control, and vet details. Transport cleanliness and comprehensive fire safety and evacuation plans are also assessed.
