Flowchart of the study design. All dogs ate the three diets in the same order, with a washout period of their standard food in between. Three to one days before each diet period, one fecal sample per dog was taken to establish a baseline value of microbiota and short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) for that specific period. In the last week of each diet period fecal samples were collected for analysis of microbiota, SCFA and apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD). Accl = acclimatization period
