It is required to find an equivalent ratio of dogs to cats.

The given ratio is 50:60.

Rewrite the ratio as a fraction:

$50:60=\frac{50}{60}$

Reduce the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 10:

$\frac{50}{60}=\frac{5}{6}$

Rewrite the reduced fraction as a ratio:

$\frac{5}{6}=5:6$

The required equivalent ratio is 5:6.
