In urban environment the largest population of animals is dogs. Contamined faeces of dogs in urban environment usually were found at public places like children’s sand boxes, green area of parks or at street. Parasites of dogs with their own pathological effect can negatively influence health of their hosts so the dogs can present a potential source of human infection. Examination performed at numerous cities worldwide importing that dogs was presence main environmental contaminant with eggs of zoonotic parasitoses, especially geohelminths like Toxocara canis and Ancylostomidae sp. In order to monitor the contamination in the Belgrade area since 1993 continuously monitors the contamination of public areas for the presence of parasites originating from dogs. On the basis of the control of parasitic contamination of land from parks and other green areas during 1993-2003 followed by the reactive in terms of cleaning the playgrounds. The following progress has been made by introducing during 2008-2009 in central city districts has taken root system of baskets with plastic bags from dog feces (Dogi-pot system). During 2011 in some parks is form of eco zones or parks for dogs. A special segment of solving this problem in Belgrade has been the adoption of problem-solving strategies non-owner of dogs and cats in the city of Belgrade, which was adopted at the Belgrade City Assembly held 2011. The city of Belgrade has become one of the few cities that have a strategy to solve the problem of non-proprietary dogs and it is a document that defines the principles, objectives and measures to solve the problem in terms of non-owner dogs carry out administration of local government. During the 2022 presence of parasite eggs was found in over 40% less than in the period before introduction of all these preventive measures.
