Conhecimento de tutores sobre o bem-estar de cães e o fenômeno humanização

Abstract

The most tutors do not have knowledge about welfare, natural animal behavior and humanization of animals. With that, the objective of the present study is to characterize the human and dog interaction, evaluating their well-being and relating it to the humanization phenomenon. The study took place through a structured questionnaire, where 263 questionnaires were applied. The tutors stated that the main form of acquisition was through buying, when evaluating the well-being, the vast majority answered that the dogs live in houses, with a medium area, having access to the whole house. There was a low level of humanization and little understanding of what is well-being and humanization.
