Ireland’s Dog Census is back
Let’s make every dog count this year.
Ireland’s Dog Census is back for 2025 – and it’s bigger and better than ever!
We’ve got more dogs for you to meet, more questions for you to ponder, and more ways for you to help make life better for Ireland’s vulnerable canines.
Dog owners and lovers across the country really pulled out all the stops in last year’s Census, but there are still so many furry, four-legged friends who need our help.
Whether you own a dog or not, your answers, thoughts and opinions can help us provide better care for every dog in need. So… let’s get started!
And don’t forget, you get an ‘Every Dog Counts’ pin badge when you complete the Census. If you’ve already got one, from last year, please pass this year’s badge on to a fellow dog lover!
