Counts from Dogs and Cats Online, South Australia's register of dogs and cats, released each year by the Department for Environment and Water. One table counts the animals by council, species, sex, registration, microchip and desexing. Another counts their owners by council, sex, age and how many animals they keep, and a third counts reported dog and cat incidents.

Department for Environment and Water releases these 3 tables as one dataset on its portal, so every table here shares the version date 2025-07-04. Each table has its own page with a format picker, a field list, a sample record and its version history.

Also called: DACO animal data SA, DACO incidents data SA, DACO owners data SA, Dog bite incidents South Australia, Dog owners by council South Australia, How many dogs and cats SA owners keep, Registered dogs by council South Australia, SA cats microchipped and desexed by council, SA dog attacks and harassment reports.
