Claiming compensation for euthanasia of an XL Bully dog

To claim compensation, you must decide to have your dog euthanised and arrange this with a vet by 31 July 2024. The appointment itself can happen after this date but we must receive your claim by 30 September 2024. You must include confirmation of euthanasia from a vet.

You can claim up to £200:

• £100 to help cover the cost of euthanasia

• £100 for the loss of the dog

If you use a free charity service to euthanise your dog, you can only claim £100.

To make a claim, download one of these forms:

• compensation form if you're paying for the euthanasia
• compensation form if you're using a free charity service

Fill in the form with your vet and email it to xlbullydogenquiries@gov.scot or post to:
