“…On nutrition, it was found that 57.55% (61/106) of the animals receive only dog or cat food, 40.57% (43/106) receive dog or cat food and leftovers of homemade food and 1.89% (2/106) of the animals receive only leftovers of homemade food. Although the homemade diet can be appropriate for the nutritional needs of animals (Félix et al, 2009) it should be noted that nutritional imbalance, perhaps present in the homemade food, can cause dietary deficiencies with deleterious consequences from the point of view of health (Stockman et al, 2013).…”

The article analyzed the responsible care of dogs and cats of different urban neighborhoods of the City of Umuarama, PR. We interviewed 53 owners by means of a directed questionnaire, obtaining 106 animals evaluated indirectly. It was possible to determine several aspects related to the behavior of owners and important data related to animal welfare, and the deficiency of reproductive control being an important factor verified in this study. It was concluded that the responsible care is not fully exercised by the evaluated population of Umuarama, making urgent the elaboration of public policies to improve this situation.

“…It is noteworthy that the FEDIAF recommendations refer to diets with DM digestibility ≥70% and protein digestibility ≥80%. There are still no published studies investigating the apparent digestibility of nutrients in veterinary diets for the management of canine obesity marketed in Brazil, but these diets are formulated with high‐quality ingredients, and there are studies carried out in Brazil that demonstrated DM digestibility ≥70% and protein digestibility ≥80% in super premium dog foods (Carciofi et al., 2009; Félix et al., 2009). Therefore, it is very likely that the diets analysed in our study have higher digestibility than the values mentioned above.…”

During a weight loss program, energy restriction is performed, which can result in nutrient intake below the minimum recommendations if a proper diet is not offered. A common recommendation for dogs undergoing energy restriction is to use a veterinary diet formulated for the management of obesity to potentially reduce the likelihood of nutritional deficiencies. The objective of this study was to perform bromatological and essential mineral analysis in veterinary diets for the management of canine obesity available in the Brazilian market and to analyse whether these diets provide the recommended amount of nutrients per kg of metabolic body weight (kg BW0.75) for animals undergoing energy restriction. Samples of all veterinary diets for the management of canine obesity available in the Brazilian pet food market were analysed (n = 8). The nutrient supply per kg BW0.75 was calculated and compared with the NRC recommended allowance and FEDIAF recommendations by descriptive statistics. For this purpose, the weight loss energy requirement equations of 70 kcal/target body weight0.75 and 63 kcal/target body weight0.75 were used, in which target body weight corresponds to 10%–40% of the initial body weight according to the body condition score. The manufacturers’ intake recommendations were also evaluated and compared to the NRC and FEDIAF recommendations. Almost all of the diets (n = 7/8) had at least one nutrient below the NRC and FEDIAF recommendations when target weight of minus 10%, 20% or 30% was considered, and all diets had at least one nutrient deficiency when the target weight was minus 40%. When the energy intake was restricted a further 10%, all diets had at least one nutrient below recommendations at the minus 30% target weight. The nutrients for which the recommendations were not met were as follows: calcium, magnesium, potassium, selenium, sodium, protein and fat. When compared to the manufacturers’ recommendations, nutrient deficiencies were observed in all of the diets when compared to the NRC and in 7/8 when compared to FEDIAF, and all diets had at least one deficiency when compared to both NRC and FEDIAF after an extra 10% calorie restriction. It was concluded that the majority of veterinary diets formulated for weight loss/obesity management in Brazil did not meet all the recommendations of the analysed nutrients, which reinforces that diets for weight loss should be used according to veterinary prescription and should ideally be prescribed by nutrition specialists that can better understand the limitations of the diet's composition.

“…Importante ressaltar que diversos tutores vêm optando apenas por ração como fonte de alimento para seus animais, por ser um alimento completo nutricionalmente (Felix et al, 2009). Percebe-se que a grande maioria dos tutores reconhece a importância da vacinação de seus animais de companhia, atitude está presente nos cuidados básicos para bem-estar animal (Reichmann et al, 2000).…”

Objetivou-se neste trabalho, identificar o perfil da guarda responsável de cães e gatos no município de Maringá-PR, assim como, avaliar e correlacionar com o perfil socioeconômico dos entrevistados. Para isso, 395 questionários foram aplicados, contendo seis questões sobre o perfil socioeconômico e 15 sobre o perfil de guarda responsável. Observou-se que 56,5% dos entrevistados são mulheres. Independente do sexo, os entrevistados residem em sua maioria em casas, com idades entre 20 e 30 anos, graduação completa e renda familiar de dois a cinco salários mínimos. Quanto ao perfil de guarda responsável, 86,8% possuem animais de estimação, sendo que 75,8% dos entrevistados possuem cães, 14,3% cães e gatos e 7,9% apenas gatos. Observou-se 58,3% dos entrevistados que não castraram seus animais e destes 43,9% possuem acesso livre à rua, contrapondo-se com entrevistados que castraram seus animais (27,1%) e possui acesso a rua (34,1%). O uso de ração como alimento para os animais é realizado pela maioria dos entrevistados e não se relaciona significativamente à renda familiar e escolaridade. Elevado percentual dos entrevistados declarou vacinar seus animais (75%) e vermifugar (73,5%). A renda familiar dos entrevistados é um fator importante com relação a periodicidade das consultas. Conclui-se que os diferentes aspectos da guarda responsável de animais de companhia na cidade de Maringá carece de atenção com relação aos programas de conscientização quanto ao controle populacional / acesso as ruas e programas de castração, que devem ser implementados ou aprimorados, assim como, novos estudos para o esclarecimento de demais aspectos da guarda responsável nesta região.
