I am advised by An Garda Síochána that the below table provides a breakdown of the number of reported dog thefts at national level from 2020, to date in 2025. A breakdown at Divisional level is not possible due to low volumes.

Please note that An Garda Síochána cannot say these are ‘family pets’ but instead represent a count of all dogs stolen in any circumstance from any location.

Information supplied is operational and subject to change.
