The city of Casilda, located in southern Santa Fe Province, Argentina, faces a problem of dog overpopulation. This study aimed to estimate the relative risk of traumatic injuries (TI) in dogs from Casilda based on socio-environmental differences, and to identify potential risk factors associated with these injuries. A retrospective analytical study was conducted using clinical records of dogs treated at the Hospital de Pequeños y Grandes Animales (HEGyPA) in 2019, along with data from the Casilda municipal census, organized by the Faculty of Veterinary Science (UNR) and the Municipality of Casilda. Three socio-environmental strata were analyzed within the city: E1 (central area), E2 (intermediate area), and E3 (peripheral area). Co-habitation with other animals and roaming behavior were identified as factors associated with TI in the dogs treated at HEGyPA, while castration was found to be a protective factor. In addition to these factors, residents’ perceptions of situations indicative of animal suffering varied according to the socio-environmental stratum. Traumatic Injuries in dogs represent a complex issue that demands a multidisciplinary approach and a perspective that considers socio-environmental. Los traumatismos son un tipo de lesión frecuentes en perros y se asocian a diversos factores los cuales son susceptibles de diferencias regionales. La ciudad de Casilda, localizada al sur de la provincia de Santa Fe, presenta una superpoblación de perros. El objetivo de este estudio fue estimar el riesgo relativo de lesiones traumáticas (LT) en perros de la ciudad de Casilda según diferencias socio-ambientales y valorar potenciales factores asociados a estas lesiones. Se llevó a cabo un estudio retrospectivo analítico a partir de las fichas clínicas de los perros atendidos en el Hospital Escuela de Pequeños y Grandes Animales (HEGyPA) durante el año 2019 y del censo realizado en la ciudad de Casilda (organizado por la Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias de la Universidad Nacional de Rosario y la Municipalidad de Casilda). Se consideraron tres estratos socioambientales en la ciudad, E1 (centro), E2 (medio) y E3 (periférico). El riesgo relativo de LT en los perros en el año estudiado fue mayor en E2 en relación a E1. Los factores asociados a las LT en los animales atendidos en HEGyPA fueron la convivencia con otros animales y el hábito de vagabundeo, mientras que la castración resultó un factor protector. Estos factores se encontraron diferenciados según E en la ciudad de Casida, como también la percepción de los vecinos sobre situaciones compatibles con sufrimiento animal. Las LT en perros es un problema complejo que amerita una visión que incluya las configuraciones socio-ambientales y un abordaje multidisciplinario.
