Since 2008, there has been a noticeable increase in the total number of registered dogs. In 2008, the data is not explicitly provided, but by 2019, the number of registered dogs was 5,072. This number rose to 5,945 in the previous year and further increased to 6,147 in 2024. This upward trend suggests a growing interest in dog ownership over the years. Notably, there seems to be a spike in dog registrations around 2020–2021, which could be linked to the COVID-19 pandemic. During lockdowns, many people sought companionship, leading to an increased demand for pets, including dogs.
