Note: Respondents could indicate multiple sources used. Values are given as a proportion of respondents who utilized a specific source out of all respondents who gave home‐prepared meals for that time frame (eg, among 51 respondents feeding home‐prepared foods after diagnosis, 10% of them used books as a recipe source).

Abbreviation: Dx, diagnosis.

^a Owners feeding home‐prepared diets, but who did not provide a recipe source because of terminating the survey or leaving questions blank, were excluded (n = 4 before, n = 1 after).
