The XL Bully ban, instituted following tragic fatal attacks, is projected to impose a £25 million financial burden on British police in vet and kennel fees this year. Chief constable Mark Hobrough, the NPCC's lead for dangerous dogs, emphasized that managing the sharp increase in dog seizures—4,586 suspected unregistered dogs in just a few months—has resulted in spiraling costs. With kennel fees averaging £1,000 per dog monthly, legislative changes and enhanced public education on responsible ownership are urgently needed to alleviate the financial strain and improve community safety.
It's expected that the costs for veterinary and kennelling will soar to 25 million by the end of the financial year, a drastic increase.
Chief constable Mark Hobrough stressed the need for legislative changes to help police deal with soaring demands related to the XL Bully ban.
