You guys - think what you're doing.
You're eating the salt so the dog won't get it -- and you shouldn't have it anymore than the dog should. I try to restrict my own salt a little - so the last thing I'm going to do is eat it off the things I give my dog.....
And - I'm sure salt isn't especially bad for our dogs anyway. It isn't even bad for us if we don't have high blood pressure or other problems from it.
Don't think the doggy treats and dog food you give your pets don't have salt in them -- read the labels. I really don't think a few goldfish now and then will hurt them at all. I really don't. But, I do think keeping salty and other non-nutritional treats to a minimum for our dogs is a good thing to do.
****** I remember I had some leftover hamburger - and decided to make a meatloaf for my dogs. I made it with an egg - bread crumbs - hamburger - and not much else. I baked it - and then thought I was going to give my dogs a real treat.
They wouldn't even eat it --- they looked at me and said -"What's the deal here. There's something wrong with this. Where's the salt and pepper and mustard and catsup and stuff - we want it the way you usually make it!!!!!"
So - I put a little salt and pepper and catsup on it and heated it up - and they gobbled it up.
