The objective of this study was to determine the perception of residents and merchants regarding stray dogs in the historic center of the City of Cusco, Peru. The study corresponds to an observational research being the target population of the residents and merchants who are within the Historic Center. The data collection instrument consists of the following variables: demographic information, age, sex, perception of stray dogs as a problem, opinion of respondents about solutions to the problem, availability of cane owners to address the issue of overpopulation. The information from the surveys was carried out in an Excel database and analyzed using descriptive statistics. 400 surveys were analyzed (divided into 2 groups: residents and merchants). 66% of residents and 64% of merchants indicated that the presence of stray dogs was a problem. 58.5% of residents and 38% of merchants believed that most of these dogs had an owner. In addition, 53.5% of merchants indicated having received complaints from their customers about the presence of these canes. The main problems for those surveyed were: dirtying the streets (51.5%), affecting tourism (40.8%), producing noise pollution. According to the respondents, who should take charge of this problem is the municipality of each district (50.3%), Ministry of Health (19.8%). The solutions for this problem, according to the respondents, were: Spaying/neutering (41%), euthanasia (15.8%), identification of pets (13.8%). As for reproductive control, a trial of the respondents was spaying (83.8%), neutering (49%) and 77.3% of respondents were willing to pay for the reproductive control of their animals. These results are expected to serve as the basis for the implementation of a canine population control program and to disseminate the importance of responsible ownership and public health for the population.
