We asked about the dogs’ management and behaviour over the previous 7 days so as to limit recall bias and anchor the data to a specific snapshot of time, rather than being more general. This was first asked for the first survey which was specifically looking at changes in management and behaviour during the strict lockdown period, so needed to be time specific. Questions were then repeated in the follow-up survey. Wording has been added to lines 165-169 now to clarify this.
