After publication of our article [1] we were notified that due to an error in the excel formula used to summarise the control population, the ID-registry data from the Swedish county Gävleborg was not included in the calculations. When including Gävleborg, as intended, the numbers in the adjusted Swedish control population change slightly. It does not influence the Norwegian control population.

The correct Tables 4 and 5, as well as the correct version of Additional file 1 are included in this correction.

Table 4 Breed distribution of dogs surgically treated for orthopaedic diseases and a geographically adjusted control group
Table 5 Results from the logistic regression analyses of breed susceptibility for four common orthopaedic diseases in dogs

In Table 4, the modified values are found in the Control population header, under the Sweden and Combined columns. In Table 5, the SLU and Combined columns contain the modified values.
