To sell animals in Long Beach, you will also need to register for a business license. The sale or transfer of animals is treated the same as a pet store, which requires a basic retail sales use and allowed in all commercial zones. If the business involves breeding or kennel use, it is allowed only with a Conditional Use Permit in the IG (General Industrial) zone. Anyone seeking to operate animal-related businesses should consult with the Development Services Department prior to pursuing a "Breeding and Transfer Permit" at (562) 570-6216.
