寵物治療不只是狗，還有很多動物貓、馬、魚...等，都可以用來作為寵物治療的媒介。台灣目前的寵物治療是以狗居多，來為有需要的人服務。目前在學校、安寧機構、日照中心等地方，有不少地方能看到主人帶著狗醫生一起服務，有許多的研究顯示，在狗醫生介入後，改善了許多人的身心靈等方面的影響。
本研究在於了解台灣大眾對於寵物治療的了解，藉此加以去推廣台灣狗醫生的計畫，讓更多志同道合的人一起加入這項行列，去幫助更多人；也讓更多人了解狗改變了很多人的生活，可以更加的重視狗，減少流浪狗的數量還有虐待狗的事件發生。
本研究以台灣民眾為研究對象，使用網路填寫方式發放問卷，收案時間為2019年3月20日至2019年4月25日，共發放568份問卷，扣除50份無效問卷共有518份問卷，問卷回收率為91.2%，以SPSS 24.0版本進行分析。使用KAB model來設計問卷，探討三個模型間的關係，也使用描述性統計、獨立樣本T檢定、單因子變異數分析、皮爾森相關分析與迴歸分析進行資料分析，根據分析所得結果如下：一、目前是否有飼養寵物一個變數顯著影響動物輔助治療知識。二、性別、年齡兩個變數有顯著影響動物輔助治療態度。三、沒有任何變數有顯著影響動物輔助治療行為。在階層模型分析中，結果顯示，民眾對於動物輔助治療態度在知識與行為之間，存在中介效果。

Pet treatment does not only include dogs, but there are many animals such as cats, horses, and fish that can be used as a medium for pet treatment. Taiwan's current pet treatment is based on dogs to serve those in need. At present, places such as schools, tranquility institutions, and Rizhao centers offer many veterinary clinics where owners can see dog doctors. Many studies have shown that after the intervention of a dog doctor, the physical and mental conditions of many people improves.
The aim of this study is to understand Taiwan's public understanding of pet treatment to promote Taiwan's dog doctor plan, let more like-minded people join the ranks to help more people; let more people understand developmental changes in dogs. With a larger number of people participating and paying more attention to dogs, the number of stray dogs and the rate of abuse in dogs can reduce.
In this study, Taiwanese individuals were selected as the research subjects, and a questionnaire was distributed using an online filling method. The study duration was from March 20, 2019 to April 25, 2019. A total of 568 questionnaires were distributed, and 518 completed questionnaires were obtained: there were 50 invalid questionnaires. The recovery rate of the questionnaire was 91.2%, which was analyzed by SPSS 24.0. The KAB model was used to design the questionnaire for exploring the relationship between the three models. Descriptive statistics, independent sample T-test, single-factor variance analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The results were as follows: whether there is a pet no has a variable that significantly affects the knowledge of animal adjuvant therapy. Second, gender and age of the animal have significant effects on animal adjuvant treatment attitudes. Third, no variables have a significant effect on animal adjuvant treatment behavior. In the analysis of the hierarchical model, the results show that the public's attitude toward animal-assisted treatment plays a mediating role between knowledge and behavior.
