Original sentence: Dalmatians, like humans, apes, and guinea pigs, lack an enzyme called uricase, which breaks down uric acid.Owners should be careful to limit the intake of purine by not feeding these dogs organ meats in order to reuce the likelyhood of stones.These conditions are most likely to occur in middle-aged males.Uric acid can build up in joints and cause gout or kidney stones
Edited sentence: Adding water to their food is also helpful.For this reason, DO NOT feed them liver treats as organ meats have the highest level of purine.It does, however, have it's good side as dalmatians are the only dog who won't burn the grass when they urinate on it (no allantoin no burning.It is essential to reduce the intake of purines to dalmatians because they increase the amount of uric acid (which forms the crystals) and therefore increase the chance of forming stones from higher densities of crystals.Only certain "scientists" like to refer to a variation from the norm as a "defect".The difference in metabolic urinary function of dalmatians is not a "defect" it's just a normal occurrence in dalmatian dogs, just as it is with humans.The only other organisms known to lack uricase are humans, the apes and guinea pigs.They can develop urate stones in their urinary systems.They excrete crystals in their urine as a matter of course but health problems arrive IF those crystals develop into stones.They should also be given at least three times as much water as other dogs to flush the crystals out.They should have minimal liver and kidney in their diets and no brewers yeast.This is because they lack the enzyme called uricase, which breaks down uric acid.This is most common in middle-aged males.Uric acid builds up in joints and causes gout
