A Comparative Study of Health and Well-being in Street Dogs Versus Pet Dogs

Abstract This study compares the health and well-being of street dogs and pet dogs, considering factors such as diet, exercise, healthcare access, and environmental influences. While pet dogs benefit from consistent care, vaccinations, and controlled environments, they are prone to lifestyle-related health issues like obesity and behavioural problems. Street dogs, despite limited access to medical care and regular nutrition, display stronger immune systems, higher adaptability, and resilience due to exposure to varied environments.
Using a sample of 10 street dogs and 10 pet dogs, the study evaluates differences in body condition, coat health, immune resilience, behavioural traits, and veterinary care. Results indicate that street dogs exhibit better immune response and higher activity levels but suffer from malnutrition and untreated injuries. Conversely, pet dogs show fewer injuries and better coat conditions but face challenges like anxiety and sedentary lifestyles.
The findings highlight the unique health profiles of both groups, shaped by their environments. A balanced approach that combines the resilience of street dogs with the structured care of pet dogs could optimize canine health outcomes. Future research with larger samples is recommended to enhance these insights and inform intervention strategies.
