I've just been advised on another forum that high levels of Sodium and Potassium in dog food can lead to seisures, does anyone have any experience of this or could advise. My Dog is on a Hills diet because of tummy troubles, Hills ID to be exact and the sodium/potassium levels do seem quite high, would appreciate your views. He has tinned food which has sodium 0.12% and potassium 0.27% and dry food which has sodium 0.42% and potassium 0.87%. I have been told that the maximum should be sodium 0.18% and potassium 0.75%. If you put both foods together it does seem a very high amount. Your thoughts much appreciated. Lisa
