Error in Table

In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Table 1 as published. All four values for dogs shown in the table are incorrect. The corrected Table 1 appears below.

Error in Figure

In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Figure 1. The published graph mistakenly shows the relationship between DBS EPA + DHA and plasma EPA + DHA (which is correctly shown in Supplementary Figure S2). The corrected Figure 1 shows the relationship between DBS EPA + DHA and RBC EPA + DHA as stated in the Figure legend.

Text Correction

There was an error in the original publication [1]. The third sentence in the second paragraph of the Discussion incorrectly states, “For example, a DBS EPA + DHA value of 4% would translate into an O3I of 5.9% for humans, but 2.4% for dogs and 2.9% for cats”.
The following correction has been made: “For example, a DBS EPA + DHA value of 4% would translate into an O3I of 5.9% for humans, but 2.9% for dogs and cats”.
The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused and state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
