Any premises where a procedure is undertaken that according to current standards requires the administration of a general anaesthetic or a spinal anaesthetic must be licensed.

There are some exemptions to the above requirement in relation to emergencies, if it is impractical to move the animal because of its size or type, or if it is dangerous to the health of the animal to move it to a hospital.
