Risk perception theory is a tool that allows to predict a group of people's behavior in a specific scenery, which is important because it helps us to know what percentage of the analyzed group can progress in that scenery and the points we must reforce in cases that they don´t. Nevertheless, in Latin America it is not frequent to find studies that evaluate risk perception and there is none in the veterinary field. In this investigation we will evaluate the risk perception and the willingness of veterinarians and animal companion workers to respond at COVID-19 pandemic in Perú, also we will explore barriers and facilities that they found to go to their works during the pandemic. Data about this project was collected through an online survey that focused on companion animal workers. A descriptive statistical analysis was made with the independent variables, while the risk and efficacy perception where evaluated with the Extended Parallel Process Model (EPPM), which consist in the creation of 4 profiles (Low Risk/Low Efficacy, Low Risk/High Efficacy, High Risk/Low Efficacy and High Risk/High Efficacy), depending on the answers given on the survey. We identified that the workers who don't develop veterinarian medical services have significantly lower odds to belong to the High Risk/High Efficacy group. In the same way, the majority of surveyed said that they didn't have any barrier to assist at their work center during the pandemic. Our results show that even though Veterinarians have a risk perception that tends to be high compared to other workers of the animal companion’s clinic, they also have a high response percentage. This may be because veterinarians, compared to other non-medical workers, have received biosafety training and have been in contact with zoonotic diseases since their training, which can make them feel safer and more efficient in a real scenario.
