Results were expressed as median percentage of the relative abundance and interquartile range. Superscript letters reflect paired statistical difference by raw according to Kruskal-Wallis and Tukey post hoc tests. T group: terrier dogs; S group: shepherd dogs; Br group: brachycephalic dogs; H-WHWT: healthy West Highland white terrier dogs; ExpB group: experimental beagle dogs
