This study attempted to examine people’s perception of companion animals and investigate the factors affecting their intention to have such pets. For this, a questionnaire survey was performed against a total of 182 local residents from the highest and the lowest regions in Busan in terms of the number of companion animals. The collected data were analyzed by frequency analysis, cross-tabulation analysis, chi-squared test and regression analysis, using SPSS 23.0, and the results found the followings: Concerning demographic characteristics, ‘20s’, ‘2-membered household’ and ‘4-membered household’ were the highest in terms of age, type of household with a companion animal and type of household without a companion animal. When asked why they want to have a companion animal, ‘better communication among family members through a pet’ and ‘emotional stability’ were most responded in those with a pet and those without a pet respectively. When asked what kind of problem they have faced after having pet, ‘etiquette during dog walks, destruction of public facilities’ and ‘barking, noise’ were most responded in those with a pet and those without a pet each with statistical significance. When asked what should be done first for happy coexistence with companion animals, ‘improvement in people’s perception’ and ‘more responsibility for having a pet’ were responded in those with a pet and those without a pet respectively with statistically significant difference. When asked what facilities are needed for such happy coexistence, ‘companion animal training & culture center’ was most responded in both those with a pet and those without a pet. In addition, conflict resulting from having a companion animal had a positive influence on intention to having a companion animal and the companion animal training & culture center. This study is meaningful in that the results would be available as basic data needed to provide pet training and facilities and for happy coexistence between the locals and companion animals.
