Author notes
Competing Interests: The MSc student stipend for Dr. Dodd was partially funded by a Mitacs Accelerate award
in partnership with Petcurean Pet Nutrition. Since the time of first submission of
the manuscript, Dr. Dodd has also received grants for other projets in association
with pet food companies that produce or distribute plant-based pet foods and has engaged
in unrelated paid industry internships. Dr. Adolphe is a paid employee of Petcurean
Pet Nutrition Limited Partnership. Dr. Verbrugghe is the Royal Canin Veterinary Diets
Endowed Chair in Canine and Feline Clinical Nutrition at the Ontario Veterinary College.
These commercial affiliations do not alter our adherence to all PLOS ONE policies

Sarah A. S. Dodd
One of the authors, Dr. Jennifer Adolphe, is employed by the commercial company Petcurean
Pet Nutrition. Petcurean Pet Nutrition also provided financial support for the MSc
stipend for the primary author, Dr. Sarah Dodd, in association with the Mitacs Accelerate
program. The funder provided support in the form of salaries for Dr. Adolphe and partial
support for Dr. Dodd, but did not have any additional role in the study design, data
collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript. Indeed,
study design, data collection and analysis had all been performed prior to Dr. Adolphe’s
inclusion in the project and prior to Dr. Dodd’s Mitacs Accelerate award (IT10206).
The specific roles of these authors are articulated in the ‘author contributions’
section.
