Resumo: | Aspects related to owner dog care were investigated by questionnaire in Botucatu, SP, during the 33rd annual anti-rabies vaccination campaign. From the 1168 owners interviewed, 67.98% were not aware of the need for vaccines other than anti-rabies; 32.11% did not treat their dogs annually with vermifuges; and 76.89% used ectoparasiticides at the most once a year. Of the 120 owners that exercise their dogs on the street, only one collects the feces. In relation to feeding, 50.09% receive only commercial products. Results showed 187 dogs for every 100 owners. With regard to veterinary assistance, 56.59% never take their dogs to a clinic; 49.57% reported not being able to afford a consultation. For monthly cost, 44.69% reported spending less than R$20.00 per month. Data from this study indicate that most owners do not provide the basic minimum care needed for a dog's health and well-being, this can have an impact on public health. A country's socioeconomic development and an efficient and a continuing health education program which allows a full understanding about responsible ownership of companion animals are major factors in the improvement of animal well-being and public health.
