Quick Summary

A Dalmatian diet must be strictly low in purines and completely free of offal to prevent urinary issues. Dalmatians possess a unique metabolic defect that causes them to excrete uric acid in their urine rather than urea. This genetic trait makes the breed highly susceptible to developing painful kidney and bladder stones. Consequently, their raw diet must omit high-purine organ meats like liver, kidney, spleen, and pancreas. Owners should feed a modified ratio containing ninety per cent muscle meat and ten per cent bone. This specific formula minimises stone formation while maintaining complete canine nutrition.

A Dalmatian diet differs from that of other breeds.

They cannot eat offal so their diet consists of 90% meat & 10% bone.

The breed excretes uric acid in their urine, due to a metabolic defect that all Dalmatians have.

This means they must have a low purine diet, so no offal (liver, spleen, brain, testicles, kidney & pancreas).
