In general, the respondents perceived the effects of pets on their well-being to a moderate extent; 3) The perception of the respondents on the effects of pets on their well-being did not significantly differ when grouped according to age, sex, number of dogs owned and taken care of, breed of dogs owned, and the length of dog ownership.
