The aim of this study was to evaluate the perception of Peruvian veterinarians about the use of antibiotics and antimicrobial resistance in companion animals in Peru. A total of 442 surveys were collected through a Google Forms form, which was sent to all licensed and/or registered veterinarians dedicated to companion animals nationwide. The results showed that before prescribing antibiotics, 49.32% (218/442) always use culture and antibiogram and the most important indicator for prescription was fever with 88.24% (390/442). In turn, 82.90% (349/421) did not know the list of critical antibiotics established by WHO; carbapenemics such as meropenem and imipenem were the antibiotics of last resort most frequently used in sepsis and peritonitis by veterinarians. The most frequently used antibiotic for skin, respiratory and urogenital conditions that coincided within the options of the international guidelines was amoxicillin with clavulanic acid. Regarding perceptions, 93.44% (413/442) of veterinarians strongly agreed that the prescription of antibiotics in pets should only be done by a veterinarian, 87.10% (385/442) strongly agreed that in order to promote the proper use of antibiotics in pets, the sale of antibiotics should be restricted to prescription only by a veterinarian in veterinary pharmacies. Also, 74.43% (329/442) strongly agreed that pet owners administer antibiotics to their pets without a veterinarian's prescription. The results obtained show for the first time in the country information on the current basis of the antibiotics most commonly used in pets, as well as the perception that veterinarians in this field have about antibiotic resistance in Peru.
