Dogs can eat salt. But scientists say eating salt can damage dog kidneys and can lead to death in serious cases. Under inertial thinking, people always think in the bad direction (dogs will die if they eat salt), so over time, a consciousness will form in their minds-dogs cannot eat salt!
However, people often ignore one thing. Each scientific explanation has two dialectical aspects. On the issue of dogs eating salt, eating too much will seriously affect the dog's kidneys. If you do not eat it, if you cannot consume the same amount of salt from other places, it will also affect the dog's health.
Dogs need to eat salt
Dogs themselves need metabolism, and the sodium ions in salt are an indispensable part of metabolism. Therefore, when no other source of sodium ions is ingested, dogs must eat salt, but they must be controlled within the standards. Usually, in dry dog food with a moisture content of 10% should the required amount of salt to be more than 1%. If a dog weighs 1 kg, eat 20 grams of dog food every day. Give an example to illustrate that a 25 kg Satsuma requires at least 500 mg of salt per day. If the dog lacks salt, hair loss will also occur.
Dogs should not eat too much salt
, but at the same time, we also need to be careful not to let the dog eat too much salt, especially when there is too little water, which will cause the dog to pick food, hair loss, easily induce skin, kidney problems, hypertension and other problems, and even in serious cases, food poisoning, heart problems and paralysis may occur.
