Dalmatian safe?

Dalmatians are unique amongst breeds in that they excrete uric acid in their urine, rather than allantoin, which should be the end product of purine metabolism; this is due to a metabolic defect inherent in all Dalmatians ( except those that are LUA - backcrossed with pointers )

​

It has been suggested that feeding low-Purine diets can reduce the risk of producing urate calculi in Dalmatians, but caution must be exercised to ensure that adequate nutrient requirements are met. The ingestion of high purine foods by Dalmatians (e.g. meats, especially organ meats such as liver) results in increased uric acid excretion. And an increased probability of forming stones and shards in the bladder and urinary tract.
