Dog's have ions in their body just like we do (Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, etc. ) so technically a dog could be lacking sodium in it's body but I highly doubt your dog has a sodium deficiency. We humans do sweat through our skin which means we normally do have a slight "salty" taste to the surface of our skin. Dog's do seem to like the saltiness of our skin, but it's not because they're lacking sodium - they just like the taste of the salt. Dog's don't only lick our skin because they like the taste though - a lot of them just like to give kisses.
