There are as many brand preferences as there are Dalmatian breeders, but there are some generalizations that can be made. The dog seems to make better use of the premium brand foods, therefore generating less fecal waste. Dalmatians do not generally require canned dog food, however, it is sometimes useful in encouraging the finicky eater. Further information on food choices may be found in the medical problems section under the discussion of the unique urinary characteristics of the Dalmatian Breed.

Dals love most foods.
In fact it is a very effective training method to reward good behavior with food. Always avoid foods high in purines, such as liver or other organ meats. Avoid chocolate, which is toxic to dogs. Dalmatians usually eat very quickly and most seem to be always hungry, and as a result do not do well with self-feeding. This can lead to overweight dogs with higher incidences of medical problems later in life.
