Can dogs eat salt? Eating too much salt is not good for the dog's kidneys and fur, but it is even more undesirable not to eat any salt. Salt is a must for dogs, but the amount must not be too high. Generally, it should account for 1% of the feed.
If humans lack salt, they are prone to fatigue, and dogs are the same. They are not only prone to fatigue, but also prone to growth stagnation, skin is prone to dryness, and fur falls off. According to the standard value of NRC (US Feed Nutrition Standards) recommendation, usually the required amount of salt in dry dog food containing 10% moisture should be more than 1%. This means that the required amount of dry matter for 1 kg of dogs with a daily weight is 22g, so the required amount of salt must be 242mg after accounting, but the actual required amount of dry matter is usually 14~15g. Therefore, the actual amount of salt is about 165mg per 1 kg of body weight/day.
Convert according to this method, a 35kg wolf dog only needs 6g/day of salt. The combination rate of salt in general sold dry dog food is approximately 1.4% after analysis. If you still find that there are related symptoms of salt deficiency, you may as well increase it slightly in your diet, but it should not exceed 2%, that is, the food for adult dogs is limited to 8g per day.
Note: If you usually feed dogs dog food, because the manufacturer has added salt to the commercial dog food, you don’t need to add salt to your dog.
