Abstract
A survey was conducted among the pet owners
of Chennai on their knowledge about pet vaccination
and post-dog bite management. A total of
150 pet owners were included in this study and
it was found that 70 % of the pet owners were
regularly vaccinating their pets prophylactically
but more than half of the pet owners were not
aware of post-dog bite treatment. Moreover, the
study revealed that large numbers of stray dog
population are present with easy access to public
in, Chennai. Hence, it is important to educate
the pet owners on importance of immediate
post- dog bite treatment of pets.
