Data are shown as odds ratio (95% confidence intervals)
a
Cases indicates the number of dogs who showed a decrease in the C-BARQ subscale between baseline and 3-months for all subscales except trainability where cases reflect the number of dogs that showed an increase in the subscale between baseline and 3-months.
b
Dogs that were ≤ the median age (36 months) were considered as the referent category.
c
Female dogs were the referent category.
d
Dogs that weighed ≤ median weight (23.2 kgs) were considered as the referent category.
*
Denotes statistical significance (p < 0.05).
