A Golden is able to eat salt, but the daily amount is very small. A Golden weighing 25 kg requires only 500 mg of salt per day, which is directly available in most dog foods and therefore does not require additional supplementation by the owner. Instead, excessive salt consumption can lead to an increased burden on the dog’s kidneys, high blood pressure, hair loss and skin diseases, and in serious cases, heart and life threatening. However, there should not be a lack of salt, otherwise the dog may suffer from general weakness, coarse coat and loss of spirit and appetite. Salt contains the element of sodium and magnesium needed by the body of the golden hair, so it can not be completely salt-free, but also not in excess, which may lead to salt poisoning in dogs, such as leftover human meals, etc., are too much salt for dogs. When preparing food for dogs, it is best to leave out seasonings, which are better for your dog’s health. If you accidentally let your Golden eat something too salty, then it is best to let it drink more water to lower the salt content in your body.
