The aim of this study was to evaluate the perception of pet owners about the risk of infection of their pets with COVID-19 in Lima, Peru. A virtual survey was prepared for clients of private veterinary services in Metropolitan Lima. The instrument collected demographic information, knowledge about the transmission of SARS-CoV-2, cases of human infection, handling of the pet during the pandemic and perception of the risk of infection of animals by COVID-19. The survey was answered by 408 pet owners. It was recognized that the main means of transmission of COVID-19 were infected people (93.6%). Respiratory problems were rarely observed in dogs (8.1%) and cats (2.2%). The majority perception of those surveyed was not to relate the respiratory problems of pets with COVID-19 (80.6%), but they showed concern for the affected health of their animal (79.7%). The practice of walking the pets was carried out more than once a day (38.1%), being more frequent not using protection for the animals (65.4%). The walk generally lasted between 10 to 20 minutes (45.4%), and around the block (46.2%) and in parks (36.0%). Hygiene and prevention measures taken after the walk were bathing and washing of paws (73.4%) in pets, and a combination of measures that included social distancing (80.4%), use of personal protective equipment (79.7%) and use of alcohol / disinfectant (60.8%), in the owners. The study shows a low perception of the risk of transmission of COVID-19 from humans to pets, a knowledge that must be reinforced by health authorities to safeguard the human-animal relationship based on responsible pet ownership practices |

El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la percepción de los propietarios de mascotas acerca del riesgo de infección de sus animales con COVID-19 en Lima, Perú. Se elaboró una encuesta en formato virtual dirigida a clientes de servicios veterinarios particulares de Lima Metropolitana. El instrumento recabó información demográfica, conocimientos sobre transmisión del SARS-CoV-2, casos de infección humana con dicho virus, manejo de la mascota en pandemia y percepción sobre el riesgo de infección de los animales por COVID-19. La encuesta fue respondida por 408 propietarios. Se reconoció que el principal medio de transmisión del COVID-19 eran las personas infectadas (93.6%). Los problemas respiratorios fueron poco observados en perros (8.1%) y gatos (2.2%). La percepción mayoritaria de los encuestados fue el no relacionar los problemas respiratorios de las mascotas con COVID-19 (80.6%), pero mostraron preocupación por la salud afectada de su animal (79.7%). La práctica de paseo de las mascotas se realizaba más de una vez al día (38.1%), siendo más frecuente no utilizar protección para los animales (65.4%). El paseo duraba generalmente entre 10 y 20 minutos (45.4%), realizándolo alrededor de la manzana (46.2%) y en parques (36.0%). Las medidas de higiene y prevención tomadas tras el paseo fueron baños y lavados de patas (73.4%) en las mascotas, y combinación de medidas que incluyeron distanciamiento social (80.4%), uso de equipos de protección personal (79.7%) y uso de alcohol/desinfectante (60.8%), en los propietarios. El estudio muestra una baja percepción del riesgo de trasmisión del COVID-19 del ser humano a las mascotas, conocimiento que debe ser reforzado por las autoridades de salud a fin de salvaguardar la relación humano animal basada en prácticas de tenencia responsable de estos animales. |
