摘要

飼養者的特質影響著飼養犬貓的習慣，從臺北市文山、士林及南港三個行政區調查寵物飼養率以及寵物飼養戶的特質及其飼養態度，經由隨機抽樣到戶訪問取得6,327份有效問卷，包括未飼養寵物的家庭計5,014份及有飼養寵物的家庭計1,313份，推估此三行政區飼養寵物家庭的比率為20.8%，其中以犬飼養戶數為主佔71.3%。寵物的來源以他人贈送(36.9%)及購買(36.5%)為主，認養的比率只佔9.2%。完成寵物登記的比率為45.0%，以不知道動物保護法中有強制規定為辦理寵物登記為主因；56.1%的寵物未施行絕育手術，以還想讓寵物繁殖下一代為其主因；寵物施打狂犬病疫苗率達74.4%，而未施打狂犬病預防疫苗則以時間忙碌為主因；此外，有51.4%的飼養戶會定期帶寵物至醫療院所進行健康檢查，絕大部份的飼養戶(91.0%)願意付出的醫事費用不到一萬元。這些資訊將可提供主管機關未來政策制訂以及動物醫療照護產業規劃之依據。
