Each year my Department collects and collates statistics from local authorities in relation to dog control services, with 2024 representing the most recent full year for which statistics are available. These statistics include the number of dogs that are euthanised.
The numbers of dogs euthanised by local authority for the years 2022 to 2024 inclusive are available in the relevant annual reports at: www.gov.ie/en/collection/879d4c-dog-control-statistics/
