Did you know?
The cost of bringing a dog home in 2025 is 17% higher than the costs in 2024. In 2025, the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) rose by 2.4%. According to a Rover survey of 1,000 pet parents, 45% of Canadian dog parents are concerned about the rising cost of pet care over their pet’s lifetime. The impending tariffs may increase pet costs by 25% or more.The BC Pet Bonus and Pet Tax Credits campaign will help individuals and families cope with increasingly higher pet expenses.
Together, we can make change. Together, we can position British Columbia as the most pet-friendly place to live in Canada. Stand with us to secure an annual Pet Bonus and meaningful provincial Pet Tax Credits so that every household with a pet can love, care, and play without the constant worry of the bills that come after.
