Since 2008, the total number of registered dogs has shown a clear upward trend. In 2008, there were fewer dogs compared to the 6,147 recorded in 2024. This increase is particularly noticeable around the 2020–2021 period, which may be linked to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, many people sought companionship during lockdowns, potentially leading to a rise in dog ownership. In 2019, the year before the pandemic, there were 5,072 registered dogs, indicating a significant increase in the subsequent years.
