Unas de las enfermedades más comunes en perros es la enfermedad periodontal. El objetivo principal de este estudio era evaluar la relación que existe entre la alimentación y la enfermedad periodontal. Se realizó una encuesta a los propietarios además una evaluación dental a perros despiertos que acuden a consultorio veterinario en un periodo de 6 semanas considerando ciertos criterios de inclusión y exclusión. El diagnóstico fue visual y a través del uso de sonda periodontal. El 100% de los perros evaluados que su alimentación era balanceada presentaban cierto grado de enfermedad periodontal, el 85,70% consumían comida casera y mixta un 88.20%. Sin embargo, los resultados indicaban que no existía asociación estadística significativa entre la alimentación y enfermedad periodontal. La comida mixta (42,00%) es el alimento que más común consumen, seguida de la balanceada (40,00%) y las comidas caseras (17,50%). Existieron perros en la etapa 0 (7,50%), etapa 1 (10,00%), etapa 2 (52,50%), etapa 3 (27,50%) y etapa 4 (2,50%), con una prevalencia general del 92,50%. No se encontró una asociación estadística significativa entre el conocimiento de los dueños de perros sobre la relación entre la alimentación y la enfermedad periodontal. Se concluye que es importante que los propietarios de mascotas estén informados sobre la importancia de la elección de una dieta adecuada para la salud dental de sus perros.
