How to remedies when dog eats too much salt

Dog eats too much salt:

  1. Encourage dog to drink more water:

If your dog has just occasionally eaten too much salt and hasn't shown any other obvious abnormal symptoms, you can make it drink more water. This will help the dog excrete excess salt through urination. However, strictly control the amount of water given, feeding four times a day, each time no more than 20 ml. You can also take the dog for a walk to accelerate its metabolism.

Long-term effects of eating salty food:

  1. Keep diet light:

If your dog eats too much salty food for a long time, it can cause severe hair loss, increased eye secretions, and tear stains. It can also lead to frequent urination, causing calcium and other nutrient losses, increasing the burden on the dog's kidneys and eventually causing kidney disease. It is recommended to adjust your dog's diet promptly and switch to low-sodium food, and supplement calcium and other nutrients accordingly.

Seek veterinary attention:

  1. Veterinary care:

If your dog eats a large amount of salty food at once, causing salt poisoning and exhibiting digestive symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting, it is necessary to go to the pet hospital for examination and treatment promptly to avoid severe dehydration.
