Why Dalmatians Need Special Nutrition
Dalmatians are the only breed that metabolizes protein differently from other dogs. They produce high levels of uric acid, which can lead to urinary stones if not managed through proper diet. This is why adapted protein sources with low purine levels are essential for this breed. Additionally, their active, energetic nature requires proper joint support, and their short, white coat with distinctive spots needs specific nutrients to maintain skin health and coat shine. This breed-specific formula addresses all these unique Dalmatian characteristics.
