Over 30,000 dogs have been granted exemptions, with actual numbers in England and Wales far exceeding government estimates. The chief vet has urged owners to register their dogs before the deadline to avoid penalties, with dog behaviourist Hannah Molloy highlighting the desperation of owners to save their pets.
