Unleashing New Zoning Regulations for Kennels & Pet Services - Meeting 1

Join us for a Community Consultation Meeting to learn more about zoning updates for pet-related businesses - including kennels, grooming salons, pet daycares and training facilities - ask questions of the City, and share your comments. We are currently reviewing how pet-related businesses are regulated under City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013.

With more than 400 pet establishments operating in Toronto and pet ownership on the rise, this study aims to modernize permissions so services can be located closer to where people live, while ensuring potential nuisance concerns are addressed.

This review works in parallel with the introduction of a new Pet Establishment business license class, which was approved by City Council on July 24, 2025 and will come into force on February 1, 2027. Together, licensing and zoning updates will help create a clear, consistent and balanced framework for pet-related businesses across the city.
