Owner guide - Exercise your Dalmatian

Run or walk your dalmatian two or three times a day. Also make sure your dalmatian has access to a large backyard, so that he can remain as active as he likes. Avoid keeping him in the yard for too long, as the dalmatian needs to be around people.

Owner guide - Feed your dalmatian

Feed your dalmatian high-grade dog food. The first ingredient should be meat if you want a quality product. Crude protein should be no less than 22 percent on average, and crude fat no less than 20 percent. The fiber content should be 4 percent or less. Adult dalmatians eat 3 to 6 cups of food a day, in one or two servings. Puppies should have 2 cups a day, in three or four servings.
