Although important, such studies tend to overestimate the burden of resistance. The aim of the current study was to investigate the prevalence of coagulase\u2010positive staphylococci in healthy dogs in Central Victoria to assess the level of antibiotic resistance among these isolates.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We recruited 117 healthy dogs into the study. Swabs were taken at four sites (ear, mouth, nose, perineum) and staphylococcal species identified and isolated using culture and biochemical techniques.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>Staphylococcus pseudintermedius<\/jats:italic>and<jats:italic>S.\u2009aureus<\/jats:italic>were recovered from 100 and 17 dogs, respectively; 15 dogs were simultaneously co\u2010colonised with both organisms. The mouth and perineum were the most sensitive sites for recovery of these organisms. The most commonly encountered resistances were penicillin (95.2% and 72.4% in<jats:italic>S. aureus<\/jats:italic>and<jats:italic>S. pseudintermedius<\/jats:italic>, respectively) and doxycycline\/tetracycline (19.7% in<jats:italic>S. pseudintermedius<\/jats:italic>).
