Method: A quantitative approach with descriptive research design was adopted for the present study. 100 dog owners was selected by using non – probability convenient sampling technique. A Semi- structured questionnaire was used to collect the demographic data and to assess the level of knowledge, attitude and practice among dog owners.

Result: The findings shows that among 100 study participants in that 56% had moderate knowledge, 7% had inadequate knowledge and 37% had adequate knowledge on rabies, 51% had moderately favourable attitude, 27% had unfavourable attitude and 22% had moderately favourable attitude on Rabies and 45% had moderate practice, 48% had adequate practice and 7% had inadequate practice on Rabies. The mean and standard deviation score of knowledge was 7.07±1.29, the mean and standard deviation score of attitude was 6.40±1.56 and the mean and standard deviation score of practice was 7.26±1.21. The calculated Karl Pearson’s Correlation value of r = 0.065 between knowledge and attitude, r = 0.231 between knowledge and practice and r = 0.146 between attitude and practice shows a moderate positive correlation which was found to be statistically significant at p<0.001 level. The results are not shown statistically significant with level of knowledge, attitude and practice regarding rabies of its control among dog owners with their selected demographic variables.
