The research material consisted of data obtained from face-to-fa-ce surveys with 172 randomly selected dog owners. Half of the dog owners (54,7 %) were aware of the concept of animal welfare, and almost two-thirds (61,6 %) organized their dogs’ living spaces according to animal welfare principles. Participants most associated the concept of animal welfare with the concept of animal quality of life (47,7 %). Gender (p<0.01) and education level (p<0.01) had an effect on the understanding of the animal welfare concept; female and higher eductation resulted in a broader understanding. More than half of the participants (54,1 %) obtained information about animal welfare from written and visual non-evidence based media. © GST | SVS.Gesellschaft Schweizer Tierarztinnen und Tierarzte2024Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/ebyu/11127https://doi.org/10.17236/sat004340036-7281enSchweizer Archiv fur Tierheilkundeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://ebyu-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/ebyu/11127
