Health

The dalmatian is a very healthy breed in general. But some problems can occure. In the menu you can read the main health issues a dalmatian could have. I didn't wrote them, I copied them from other interesting websites. You can find the source on each article. 

 

The dog's diet is of course not a health problem, but couldn't left out as 'You are what you eat!', does count for dogs as well.  A healthy diet is extremely important and it is nice to know exactly what and why you give something to your dog. Prevention is always better as healing! Especially because the dalmatian is sensitive to a high purine diet and proteins which could lead to urate stones. My dogs are on a diet of raw meat and vegetables and some BARF sometimes because they like to chew. 

 

HD problems are very rare in our breed, but it is still important to get the dogs tested for maintaing this good quality of hips in our active breed.
