World has 900 million dogs
The population of the worlds dogs is about 900 million, free range dogs are hard to estimate making the 900 million estimate soft.
Dogs are widely considered to be man’s best friend having been the first species to be domesticated by man. Although around the world many families keep dogs as pets, the majority of the world’s dogs are free-range. In 2012, the total population of dogs in the world was estimated to be about 525 million; today that number is estimated to be at 900 million. Establishing the precise number of dogs in the world is challenging attributable to the free-ranging dogs roaming the streets and neighborhoods around the globe.

The city of Merritt has about 8 thousand people and an off leash dog park…
In Merritt, you may have up to two (2) dogs, and up to (2) two cats per residence (a residence includes any secondary suite). Bylaw Services may, upon request, allow an owner to have more than two (2) dogs in exceptional circumstances.
If you live in an area zoned Agricultural, you may keep livestock, fur-bearing animals or poultry.
Licences
The City of Merritt requires that all dogs hold a valid licence. Licences may be purchased through our official licensing partner, DocuPet, online at www.merritt.docupet.com.
Dog licenses no longer expire on January 1st; licenses will now expire 365 days after the initial purchase date. Dog licence tags must be affixed to their collar and visible at all times.
In addition to your pet’s official licence, DocuPet also provides:
- Full access to the HomeSafe™ 24/7 lost pet service
- A selection of over 160 designer tag options that double as your pet’s official licence
- A central dashboard for your pet’s medical records and information
- A quick and easy online solution for purchasing and renewing your pet’s licence
The licence tag must be affixed to the dog’s collar and worn at all times. If your dog is found off your property and not under control, there is a $50 fine which increases with each offence. At any time, being found with an unlicensed dog can be a $50 fine. By having your dog licenced, we will be able to reunite you with your pet.
Pet licence fees are as follows:
| For any neutered or spayed dog | $24 |
| For any un-neutered or unspayed dog | $50 |
| Lost tag replacement | $10 |
Licences are available online at www.merritt.docupet.com and allows you to register online, by mail, or by phone. You will need to provide a vet certificate to prove that the animal has been spayed or neutered – you only have to show this certificate once.
Regulations
Dogs must be kept on a leash and under the control of a competent person at all times when in public. If your animal is found running at large, Bylaw Services will bring your dog to the City pound facility, and while your animal will receive good care (and even veterinary attention if required), you will be subject to fines, impoundment fees and expenses.
“Guests” at the pound are kept for 72 hours. If you can be traced as the owner, you will be notified with instructions on how to reclaim your pet and any required fees. After three days pets may be sold, adopted out, or sadly, destroyed.
