16S rRNA amplicon sequencing of companion dog fecal samples to investigate associations between gut microbiome composition and behavioral traits in dogs

This study explores the canine gut microbiome using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing of fecal samples collected from 164 companion dogs. The aim is to investigate associations between gut microbiome composition and behavioral traits, including inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. The dataset comprises raw sequence reads generated from the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene to provide insights into the role of the gut microbiota in dog behavior and its potential parallels with human neurobehavioral conditions.
