The inadequate use of antimicrobials (ATM), has as a consequence the increase of the germs’ resistance; current problem in public health. The objetive of the present proyect, was to identify the use and prescription of the ATM utilized at companion animals’ clinic, at the city of Córdoba, Argentina. An observational study was carried out through a questionnaire composed by 18 questions. The 98% (149 of 152) of surveyed professionals, empirically utilized ATM, being penicilin and other drugs based on it, the most commonly employed. Against skin and urinary syndromes, it was perceived a higher statistical probability of empirical prescription (2, 08 for skin syndromes and 3, 22 for urinary syndromes). Because of the high frequency observed in the utilization of ATM, and the fact that some of them are clasified as "of crytical importance" in human medicine, it is necessary to count with local epidemiological data, to be able to guide the initial empirical tratments, and to create vigilance and control programs destined to regulate them.
