Complaint Form to Local Authority

We recommend you complain to local authorities about internet sellers, especially if you’re concerned about animal welfare.

To increase impact, avoid stating they’re breeding, simply report that they’re selling animals online. Selling pet animals is regulated under Pet Shop Licensing legislation, and local authorities are expected to investigate unlicensed pet sales.

To make it easy, we’ve created a template for you to use. You’ll need to delete sections and words that aren’t relevant, so it’s clear what complaint you’re making.
