No need to add salt to your dog's food. Pet foods are manufactured with sufficient balance of protein and minerals to keep your dog healthy. Bones and raw meat also naturally contain sufficient salt for animals. Don't give bones too often, just as a weekly treat. Don't include additives of your own to your pet's diet.
