description The aim of this study was to determine the importance of stray dogs by the local governments of Metropolitan Lima and to identify the proposed control plans. The descriptive study involved 32 of the 43 municipalities of Metropolitan Lima that agreed to participate. The survey model carried out by the OIE regarding the control of dog population was used. In general, 90.6% (29) considered stray dogs a problem in their district, uncontrolled reproduction being the most serious problem. In addition, 58.6% (17) indicated that the municipality did not have a plan to address the problem, while 31% (9) had a plan and 10.4% (3) did not but were carrying out activities to address it. Surgical methods (spaying and neutering) were the most mentioned by the authorities to try to control the stray dog population, while euthanasia was only mentioned for cases of terminal illness or aggressiveness. Regarding budget allocation, 59.4% (19) indicated that the municipality did not have specific budget for the veterinary public health area; likewise, the insufficient or non-existent budget (82.1%) and the lack of infrastructure for the development of activities (71.4%) were the main limitations of the municipality to address the problem of stray dogs. The information obtained can be used to raise awareness about the impact of stray dogs on public health and assess the need to develop control plans that are adjusted to the needs and limitations of each district.

El estudio descriptivo involucró a 32 de las 43 municipalidades de Lima Metropolitana que aceptaron participar. Se utilizó el modelo de encuesta realizado por la OIE respecto al control de la población de canes y canes vagabundos. El 90.6% (29) consideraba a los canes vagabundos como un problema en su distrito, siendo la reproducción no controlada el problema más grave. El 58.6% (17) indicó que la comuna no contaba con un plan que aborde la problemática, mientras que 31% (9) contaba con un plan y 10.4% (3) no lo tenía, pero realizaban actividades para enfrentarlo. Los métodos quirúrgicos (esterilizaciones y castraciones) fueron los más mencionados por las autoridades para tratar de controlar la población de canes vagabundos, mientras que la eutanasia solo fue mencionada para casos de enfermedad terminal o agresividad. El 59.4% (19) mencionó que la municipalidad no contaba con presupuesto destinado al área de salud pública veterinaria; asimismo, el presupuesto insuficiente o inexistente (82.1%) y la falta de infraestructura para el desarrollo de actividades (71.4%) fueron las principales limitantes del municipio para abordar la problemática de los canes vagabundos. La información obtenida puede servir para tomar consciencia sobre el impacto de los canes vagabundos en la salud pública y valorar la necesidad de elaborar planes de control que se ajusten a las necesidades y limitaciones de cada distrito.Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria2021-06-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistasinvestigacion.unmsm.edu.pe/index.php/veterinaria/article/view/2039310.15381/rivep.v32i3.20393Revista de Investigaciones Veterinarias del Perú; Vol. 32 Núm. 3 (2021); e20393Revista de Investigaciones Veterinarias del Perú; Vol. 32 No. 3 (2021); e203931682-34191609-9117reponame:Revistas - Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcosinstname:Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcosinstacron:UNMSMspahttps://revistasinvestigacion.unmsm.edu.pe/index.php/veterinaria/article/view/20393/16826Derechos de autor 2021 Sofía Cáceda, Daphne León, Néstor Falcónhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.csi.unmsm:article/203932021-06-25T11:20:25Z
