Hello. Has Panda had previous problems with stones, or are you asking just because she is a Dalmation? Urate stones are overwhelmingly a male Dalmation problem, so we generally do not worry about this in females. Unless she has stones at this time, I would not worry about limiting either proteins or fats in her diet as she needs this to maintain herself & her puppies. If she does have issues, please post back with more information about her condition. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
