About Dalmatians by Niki Buchen.
Dalmatians do not generally require canned dog food, however, it is sometimes useful in encouraging the finicky eater. Do not feed your Dalmatian foods with “cute” colors and shapes as these require additives that may cause or aggravate skin allergy conditions. Dalmatians crave companionship and should not be habitually left alone in a basement or backyard. The Dalmatian lives 11-13 years, though life spans of up to 16 years are not uncommon. Dalmatians are a very old breed, often thought to be the very first type of dogs for which man made deliberate attempts to selectively breed for specific characteristics. These characteristics were at first appearance, then other attributes such as stamina, endurance, and health. Dalmatians have two unique hereditary problems: Deafness and bladder stone formations. Though deaf dogs can lead happy and productive lives an make excellent house pets, there are some special considerations. Dalmatian toadflax is typically found along roadsides or railroads and in idle cropland, pastures, and rangelands, usually on comparatively dry sites with coarse, well-drained soils. Because seedlings are relatively poor competitors for soil moisture, establishment is favored by soil disturbances, such as road construction, or by overgrazing. Dalmatians are lean, medium-sized, well-proportioned dogs with distinctive black spots on white. Their muzzles are strong, eyes deeply set and their soft ears are set somewhat high.
