The three most significant differences comparing the gut microbiota (GM), as relative abundance OTUs at genus level, between fast weight loss rate (≥1% of body weight per week) and slow weight loss rate (<1.0% bodyweight per week) dogs at three time points, week 0, week 6 and week 12, from dogs (n = 11) during a 12 week weight loss trial (data was analysed using ANOVA, P < 0.05, in bold, was considered a significant change)

		Bacterial genusa	P‐value	False discovery rate q‐value
GM	Week 0	Streptococcus spp.	0.14	4.76
		Catenibacterium spp.	0.16	2.71
		Unknown (Ruminococcaceae spp.)	0.19	2.14
	Week 6	Helicobacter spp.	0.06	2.49
		Campylobacter spp.	0.07	1.36
		Unknown (Clostridiaceae spp.)	0.09	1.32
	Week 12	Unknown (Ruminococcaceae spp.)	0.02	0.92
