Multifactorial situation within four categories of dog ownership factors applying to 374 cases of dogs confiscated for human-/ animal-directed biting incidents.

We present percentages of cases (and counts between brackets) that a dog ownership factors within the categories of owner household, owner antisocial behaviours, husbandry/ animal view and animal treatment was reported on as a multifactorial situation (≥2 factors within a category applying to a case) for a first time frame (2008–2010), a second time frame (2020-mid-May 2022) and overall for both time frames. Pearson Chi-square values are indicated for significant differences in pairwise comparisons between the two time frames, per factor (P<0.05, df = 1).
