Canine obesity, a prevalent global health concern, is also on the rise in Colombia. However, there is limited data available on this issue. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of overweight and obesity among dogs in Northern Bogotá, Colombia, and to identify key risk factors associated with this condition. A sample of 194 dogs was used. They were weighed, their body condition was evaluated, and their owners were surveyed about the habits of the dog. Results revealed 23.2% of dogs were overweight and 1.6% were obese. Through a logistic regression model, it was determined that the variables significantly related to this disease were daily physical activity and the condition of being neutered or spayed.
La obesidad canina es una enfermedad y un trastorno nutricional en aumento a nivel mundial y Colombia no es la excepción; sin embargo, los reportes sobre esta condición son escasos. Este estudio buscó determinar la presencia de sobrepeso y obesidad en caninos en el norte de la ciudad de Bogotá, Colombia, y determinar los principales factores de riesgo que predisponen esta condición. Se utilizó una muestra de 194 perros, los cuales se pesaron, se evaluó su condición corporal y se hizo una encuesta a los propietarios para indagar sobre los hábitos del canino. El estudio encontró un 23,2% de perros con sobrepeso y un 1,6% con obesidad. Por medio de un modelo de regresión logístico dicotómico, se pudo determinar que las variables que tuvieron una relación significativa frente a esta enfermedad fueron la actividad física diaria y la condición de estar castrado o esterilizado.
