Owning a dog is hardly cheap, but some might not realise just how expensive of a commitment it actually is.
New research, carried out by Sainsbury's Bank, has found that on average, a dog could cost nearly £43,000 over the course of its life - with day care alone putting an owner back almost £1,500 a year.
Many who had brought a dog into their family during lockdown will now likely be at least partly office-based again, making doggy daycare an essential.
