摘要

尽管在土耳其等发展中国家,宠物的拥有量正在迅速增加,但关于如何照顾和喂养动物以及感知动物福利的信息仍然有限。为了解决这一差距,对来自65个省份(占全国80%以上)的410名参与者进行了一项调查。这项研究收集了宠物主人的人口统计数据、护理和喂养做法以及对动物福利的认识。结果显示,大多数参与者(80.6%)至少拥有学士学位,大多数宠物(80.9%)是在最近10年内获得的。每月在宠物护理上的花费通常在30美元到90美元之间。原料质量成为推动食品选择的主要因素(51%),这是由于人们对旨在改善健康和福祉的优质和超优质产品的兴趣日益浓厚。兽医诊所在决定喂养方面发挥着重要作用。大多数宠物主人认为他们的宠物是家庭成员,对它们的福利和营养状况非常了解。研究结果表明,最近人类营养的趋势,如对功能性食品的兴趣增加和成分标准的提高,也在影响宠物的喂养方式,兽医和宠物食品行业之间需要更密切的合作。

Current Perspectives and Practices of Pet Owners in Türkiye on Animal Care, Nutrition, and Welfare.

Although pet ownership is rapidly increasing in developing countries like Turkey, information on how animals are cared for and fed and on perceived animal welfare remains limited. To address this gap, a survey was conducted with 410 participants from 65 provinces, representing over 80% of the country. The study collected data on pet owner demographics, care and feeding practices, and awareness of animal welfare. The results show that most participants (80.6%) have at least a bachelor's degree, and most pets (80.9%) were acquired within the last 10 years. Monthly spending on pet care typically ranges from USD 30 to 90. Ingredient quality emerged as the primary factor driving food choices (51%), driven by a growing interest in premium and super-premium products aimed at improving health and well-being. Veterinary clinics play a significant role in shaping feeding decisions. Most pet owners consider their pets family members and feel quite knowledgeable about their welfare and nutrition. The results suggest that recent trends in human nutrition, such as increasing interest in functional foods and higher ingredient standards, are also shaping pet feeding practices, and that closer collaboration between veterinarians and the pet food industry is needed.
