Proper care of dogs from their owner’s perspective

71%
Proper care of dogs from their owner's perspective. The aim of the study was to examine the level of awareness of dog owners regarding the needs of dogs and ways of providing them with proper care. In order to provide dogs with proper care one needs to consider both the specific requirements of the species, as well as the expectations of the owners. The owner (in Poland) awareness survey was carried out by means of an internet diagnostic survey. The survey was performed on a group of 424 people currently owning dogs. Surveyed were asked 12 questions. The results of the survey were processed statistically (SPSS 23.0 statistical package). In order to divide the respondents into groups of various awareness of dog welfare, a clustering analysis was performed using k-means clustering. In order to estimate the differences in several independent variable samples the Kruskal-Wallis test was used. The respondents attributed the largest weight to medical costs (0.847) and physical activity associated with owning a dog (0.844). They regarded the costs of keep least important (0.548). The differences were confirmed statistically. Already during the phase of making the decision about owning a dog the more aware persons search for information about the animal. Such people declare o greater weight of all elements of dog care associated with welfare. This relation is evident in case of grooming and providing the dog with walks. The obtained results of the survey show that the majority of the respondents are people knowing the needs of their dogs.
Parasites in dogs – prevention and control according to the questionnaire analysis. The aim of the study was to determine the extent of knowledge of dog owners on the incidence of parasitic diseases, their negative consequences and preventive measures. The research material was based on data from 162 anonymous questionnaires. The study was conducted in the period between July and October 2015, among owners of dogs living in different regions of Poland. Analysis of the results showed that most respondents were aware of the dangers posed by the development of parasitic diseases in their animals, however the extent of their knowledge was insufficient and required further deepening. Unfortunately, 6% of owners do not use any form of antiparasitic prophylaxis. Less than half of the respondents declared that they regularly pick up their dog’s waste. More than half of the surveyed owners were not aware of the type and programme of antiparasitic prevention used by the vets, or the necessary changes in the dog's pharmacological treatment. The largest group of owners (32% of respondents) used the prevention of ectoparasites twice a year. Nearly half of the respondents used antiparasitic drops as a precaution against ectoparasitic diseases, while 33% used antiparasitic collars. 40% of respondents seeking to increase the effectiveness of protection against parasitic infestations applied two different forms of treatment simultaneously. The results of the questionnaire surveys indicated, according to specialists recommendations, that there was insufficient frequency of using antiparasitic treatment against endoparasites. Single deworming was performed by 41% of respondents while the smallest group of respondents (12%) did it three times.
