So I divided 35 sheets into 300 mg. of sodium which equals the 8.57. I also did the math the easy way by simply dividing sheets of seaweed into 60 mg. of sodium (which represents one serving) and came up with the same answer.

So now my question is -- dividing two sheets betweeb the five furkids is a total of 17.14 mg of sodium OR 3.43 mg. of sodium per dog. Is that too much sodium for an occasional treat?
Probably not, but there are worse things that people give, like steak? But I give mine raw veggies as treats and they love them. Me, I would prefer to eat the laver myself. It's one of my fave snacks, and a great diet tool, plus taste and texture just like overpriced kale chips, and cheaper!
