You asked
Please can I have the latest information via email on the number of dogs that have been killed in road accidents between 2021 2024.
It would also be useful if you could specify how many there were in each year to determine if this number has increased.
We said
Thank you for your request.
We do not hold any information on the number of dogs killed in road traffic accidents, and ONS has no plans to collect statistics on this in future. In terms of mortality statistics, we are responsible for the production of figures for humans only.
ONS are unfortunately also unaware of any other official department or agency that collects such figures. However, the following looks relevant to your question, although the study is out of date compared with your time period of interest: https://www.rvc.ac.uk/research/news/general/road-traffic-accidents-in-dogs
