Friendship between the dog and human has been around for thousands of years, and today dogs play an important role in people's lives. Feeding is one of the most important factors for the proper development, growth and health of a dog. Proper feeding for the dog is one that ensures the dog meets all the food and energy needs. The choice of feeding method depends most on the owner and his beliefs, but most importantly it that feeding provides the dog with a balanced and quality meal which suits his needs. The aim of the study is to determine the characteristics of dog feeding among breeders and owners in Osijek-Baranja and Brod-Posavina counties. The survey used anonymous survey questionnaires completed by breeders and dog owners from the Osijek-Baranja and Brod-Posavina counties between late January and early May 2019. 280 questionnaires were distributed and 216 returned, which is a 77.1% response rate. Statistical analysis included 197 questionnaires, which were completely completed according to the instructions. Combined feeding is the most prevalent type of food among breeders or dog owners (84.8%). The majority of household members participate in dog feeding (53.3%). Research has shown that drinking water is available to the dog ad libitum in most cases (94.9%). The study found that the majority of respondents did not use nutritional supplements in their dog meal (54.8%). Among all respondents, there were 93.4% of those who fed dogs with commercial dog food. Dry commercial dog food is the choice for the largest number of breeders or dog owners (47.7%). When buying commercial dog food, the respondents most often choose the brand (67.4%). Among all respondents, there were 59.4% of those who feed the dog with household leftovers. Among all respondents, there were 61.9% of those who fed their dogs with bones, and the majority of them used cooked or baked bones (63.2%). Looking at the results of the survey, we can conclude that dog feeding in the Osijek-Baranja and Brod-Posavina county is satisfactory, although there is certainly space for improvement. Understanding nutrients is key to applying better nutrition. Veterinarians and nutritionists should be more involved in dogs feeding and pass on their knowledge to breeders or dog owners.
