Thank you for this, we were familiar with the paper but had missed that link. New text has been added here now to discuss this.
Specific points requiring attention: L18-20 „Whether dogs showed SRBs or not changed considerably over the months of the study, and one in ten dogs were found to have developed new SRBs in October, that they didn’t show before the pandemic” Overall, the percentage of dogs showing SRBs decreased during the study, and this should be clarified in the sentence above.
