Sodium in kibble... Do you look @ the sodium content in the kibble you're feeding your yorkies? I haven't been paying attention to the sodium as much as the protein or fat content until recently...so I googled & tried to find out what the acceptable or ideal sodium content should be for dogs 5-7#'s & found nothing. I'm currently feeding Canine Caviar Open Sky (duck) for dinner only & it has a sodium content of .23% max. Wild Ocean has .46% & Buffalo has only .2% (from what I remember, but can't find it on their site). I tried emailing them but it wouldn't go through, it says: Your message was flagged as spam. Please turn on javascript and resubmit. My javascript is on & current, don't know why it's not going through? Can someone please email them for me & post their response here? I can call, but I understand better when it's in writing, esp if it has #'s in it.:p 2 questions: 1. Why is there such a big difference in the sodium content? Open Sky .23%, Wild Ocean .46% & Buffalo .2%. 2. What is the appropriate amount of sodium for 5-7# dogs? http://mycaninecaviar.com/contact/generalcontact/ |

According to the link that My Oscar posted, How Much Sodium Do Pets Need? The Association of American Feed Control Officials recommend that dry dog foods contain at least 0.3% and dry cat foods contain at least 0.2% sodium for both maintenance and to support normal growth and development. These are minimum recommended levels. |
I'm feeding Canine Caviar Wilderness (venison), and just looked on the bag and it's not on there. |

Fish based foods tend to have a higher sodium content. |

Well I guess they can salt their food as much as I do :) |

I want to try the Buffalo on him, I think he would like that one, but I'm not sure if he would like it... Hey do you have any buffalo left, you can send me a little sample and I can send you a sample of the Wild Ocean!! :D The Wild Ocean- to me smells like hay or something... like grass almost. It doesn't smell fishy at all!! I was really thankful for that! Peanut doesn't smell bad at all after eating it!! |
