8 Guidelines For Feeding Your
Adult Dalmatian
Here are some feeding guidelines
researchers have learned over the years and recommend for adult
Dalmatians to ensure your dog health:
1. Never feed a Dalmatian organ meats such as liver, kidney,
sweetbreads or brains in any form, whether cooked, raw or as an
ingredient in a pet food or snack.
2. Never feed a Dalmatian game meat such as venison or elk in any form,
cooked, whether raw or as an ingredient in a dog food or snack.
3. Never feed a Dalmatian red meat, cooked or raw, or as an ingredient
in a snack or in a adult dog food where it appears as one of the first
three
ingredients listed on the label.
4. Never feed poultry cooked or raw, or as an ingredient in a snack or
in a pet food where it appears as one of the first two ingredients
listed on the label.
5. Feed them plenty of fruits, vegetables and grains as snacks, except
those known to be high in purine yields such as mushrooms, asparagus,
legumes, oatmeal, spinach and cauliflower.
6. Feed adult Dalmatians dog foods such as corn, wheat and rice, (in
that order) whose protein and fat content are moderate: about 22%
protein from low purine sources and no more than 10% fat.
7. Fresh, clean water must be available at all times.
8. Divide the dog's total daily ration into two meals so that blood
levels of uric acid will remain fairly stable. Soak meals in warm water
to improve water
consumption.
Dalmatians are only one of about 140 recognized AKC breeds. Because
they have different dietary requirements than all the other breeds, it
is understandable that the ingredients in most premium pet foods are
not aimed specifically at keeping Dalmatians fit.
What new Dalmatian owners do not know is that pet food representatives
do such a good job at marketing their products to various pet food
outlets, that the store salespeople often become excited for certain
brands, which may very well be outstanding overall but are quite
harmful to a Dalmatian.
If a meat product is listed as the first or second ingredient in an
adult dog food, it is more likely that the food is less suitable for
Dalmatians than others that list grains, especially corn, as main
ingredients.
