1 Regressions were performed between mean daily values from each activity monitor measure and veterinarian-assessed pruritus clinical signs; all models adjusted for Body Fat Index, weight, daylight hours, pollen count, medication use and clinic and controlled for repeat measures; 2 p values adjusted for false discovery rate using the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure.
