Competing Interests
I have read the journal's policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following competing interests: Lucy Metcalfe and Christian Guidarini are both employees of Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica GmbH. The funder provided support in form of salaries for 2 of the authors (CG and LM) and in sponsoring of the study, but this does not alter our adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
