Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council has approved increases to animal licensing fees.
The changes affect businesses and activities including dog breeding, animal boarding, pet shops, hiring out horses, animal exhibitions, zoos and dangerous wild animals.
A standard animal activity licence will rise from £447 to £465, plus any additional vet fees.
Zoo licences will increase from £177 to £184, while dangerous wild animal licences will rise from £533 to £554.
A new £465 charge is also being introduced for people keeping primates.
The council says the increases reflect inflation and the cost of running the licensing service.
The new fees are expected to take effect from June 1.
