Abstract

            The dogs brought for vaccination from the year 2018 to 2023to the teaching Veterinary Hospital, Namakkal were analyzed in this study. The data pertaining to ARV (Anti-Rabies Vaccine) and DHLPPi (Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parvo and Parainfluenza) vaccination were collected and classified into Year – wise, Breed – wise, District – wise and Age-wise categories for analysis. The results revealed that during the pre COVID and COVID periods (2018, 2019 and 2020) there was less difference in the number of vaccinations in dogs. But in post COVID-19era (2021, 2022 and 2023) there was an increase in the vaccination trend. Hence, the data clearly indicates that the awareness on vaccination of pet animals is hiked during post COVID period.
