I have read the journal’s policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following competing interests: Claudia Ottka was an employee and Hannes Lohi is a shareholder and the chairman of the board of PetBIOMICS Ltd, who developed and provides the metabolomics test. All other authors declare to have no competing interests. This does not alter our adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
