This may sound like a broken record but it’s worth repeating: since the lockdown, an increasing number of households have turned to pets for emotional support and companionship during times of isolation.
The rise in pandemic-induced pet love has led to a surge in dog prices all across the UK – with the average puppy going for nearly £1,900 in 2020, which is more than double the average price from 2019.
What is it about dogs though? Are they truly your best friend? Well, in the spirit of pet madness, here are the UK’s most expensive dogs:
1. English Bulldog
The English Bulldog is currently one of the most expensive dogs to buy in the UK, with the average pup costing nearly £3,000. They’re adorable and relatively quiet and don’t demand a lot of exercise. What’s not to love, right? The price tag, that is…
2. French Bulldog
The average cost of a French Bulldog – get ready for this one – is over £3,100! They’ve proven to be a very popular pet to make the lockdown more bearable and are also nice to have around remote working environments – they’re relatively quiet and do not need a lot of exercise.
3. Labrador Retriever
The Labrador Retriever has always been a crowd favourite – however, in 2021, the average cost of one was around £2,800. Plus, as adorable as they are, they’re not ideal for apartment living and do need regular exercise.
