摘要：The relationship between animals and humans started many years ago and it highlights the interdependence between humankind and some animal species. This proximity leaded to an enormous amount of pets and consequently stray animals in urban centers, mining the basic precepts of animal welfare and bringing problems to public health. Nowadays Uruguaiana faces a serious public health problem due to the large amount of stray animals. This study aimed to evaluate the awareness of adolescent students, aged from 13 to 16 years old, about animal responsible ownership before and after the activities of the project entitled “Best Friend”. The adolescents watched an educational video and attended to a lecture about animal welfare, reproduction control, zoonosis prophylaxis, and conscious adoption. Part of the students answered to multiple choice questions before and after the presentations so the project efficacy could be tested. It was seen that 87.3% of the adolescents hold a pet, justifying the project relevance. “Best Friend” project could improve the awareness related to the place where animal should be maintained, best diet and toxoplasmosis prophylaxis. Appropriate results concerning basic commitments by owners and their pet (feeding, vaccination, castration and dedication) were obtained even before the project activities. No improvement on leishmaniasis understanding was achieved after “Best Friend” visits, so methodological adaptations related to this subject should be performed for further studies.
