Abstract: Increasing interest has been observed to own dogs for different purposes in rural areas of Gujarat. Present survey was carried out in to evaluate knowledge level on dog-ownership in a total of 115 dog-owners from five villages near Anand, Gujarat. Majority of dog-owners kept a dog on their cattle farm. Use of dogs for protecting livestock farms by owners remains the most common purpose of dog-ownership. All dog-owners were unaware about transmissible diseases of dogs in rural area. Results suggest the basic requirement of extension education for rural dog-owners to impart knowledge on dog healthcare and management as well as on diseases of dogs.
Keywords: Dog-ownership, knowledge level, rural areas, Gujarat.
