The mean of perceived responsibility, strength of habit, and self-efficacy of (all participants combined), dog-centered trial.

	Day 0 (SD)	Day 42 (SD)	p-value
Responsibility—dog	5.4 (1.4)	6.2 (1.2)	0.017
Responsibility—owner	6.1 (0.8)	6.9 (0.3)	0.036
Strength habit—dog	3.2 (1.8)	2.5 (1.6)	0.040
Strength habit—owner	3.1 (1.4)	2.8 (1.3)	0.398 (NS)
Self-efficacy—dog	4.3 (1.9)	5.7 (1.1)	0.022
Self-efficacy—owner	3.8 (1.8)	5.3 (1.5)	0.056 (NS)

The mean and standard deviation (SD) of perceived responsibility, strength of habit and self-efficacy of all participants in the active weight loss trial in dogs (n = 13) at the start and end of the trial on a scale of 1 to 7, where 1 is “totally disagree,” 4 is “neutral,” and 7 is “totally agree.” All answers were included regardless of group allocation, as there was no significant difference between groups in any measured parameter. NS, not significant; dog, as perceived in relation to the pet; owner, as perceived in relation to the owner.
