Compared with dogs’ very developed sense of smell, their sense of taste is indeed relatively underdeveloped. So the discussion about whether dogs can eat salt is a question that pet owners have always been concerned about.

More than 90% of the sodium ions in the animal body are present in the extracellular fluid, which is the main component in maintaining the osmotic pressure of the extracellular fluid. If the sodium ion concentration is insufficient, intracellular fluid will leak and the cells will dry up. If sodium ions cannot be replenished in time, the cells will die of thirst or dryness. Of course, the sodium ion concentration cannot be too high. If the degree is within a certain range, the body will have a desire to be thirsty, and will add a large amount of water to dilute the sodium ions (so when we eat salty food, we will be thirsty and want to drink water), and at the same time, the excess sodium will be eliminated through urination. ions are expelled from the body. If excess sodium ions cannot be excreted in time, salt poisoning will occur. Fortunately, salt poisoning is generally very rare as long as your dog has enough water to drink.

To sum up: Although dogs have an underdeveloped sense of taste, the sodium ions in their bodies will still have physiological effects on their bodies. They should not feed too many foods containing too much salt, and pay attention to giving them plenty of water.
