Can salt kill dogs

Answer 1

"No. You need to keep any salmon blood away from dogs, this is where they get the sickness salmonilla from. The meat of the salmon is ok to give to dogs."

No, this is all kinds of wrong. Yes, dogs can be poisoned from raw salmon, and so I would assume salmon blood. It is called Salmon Poisoning. Salmonella is a disease humans contract from raw chicken, and dogs are not susceptible to it at all. In fact some people recommend feeding raw chicken to dogs, but I would consult your vet on that first.

"Salmon poisoning disease" of dogs, and "Salmonella", are two different things. Salmonella are very common bacteria that sometimes cause anything from digestive upset to serious disease in humans. Dogs can certainly get sick from Salmonella, but most of them are more resistant than people. I have fed mine raw chicken more or less regularly for 40 years without any problems.

"Salmon poisoning disease" is a misnomer - it is really a bacterial infection. It is curable if treated promptly, but 90% of infected dogs will die if not treated. The bacteria causing the disease are carried by a parasitic worm that lives in the dog's intestine as an adult, but has a complicated life cycle involving two other hosts. The first host is a snail found only in West Coast rivers and streams, from San Francisco northward to Alaska. Worm larvae multiply inside the snail, and then leave the snail and burrow into the flesh of a salmonid fish (salmon or trout) or sometimes a water-living salamander (the Pacific Giant Salamander). Dogs acquire the worms by eating raw or cold-smoked fish (or salamanders). Because of the limited range of the snail, "salmon poisoning disease" is mainly a problem of the Pacific Northwest - but salmon or trout from PNW hatcheries are sometimes stocked elsewhere, such as Southern California, and may carry infected worm larvae. There have been cases of "salmon poisoning disease" in dogs that ate raw salmon or trout in southern California. The California Department of Fish and Game has an informative Web site on "salmon poisoning disease".

Answer 2

Dogs, like all animals, need some salt in their diet. If you are feeding the dog commercial dog food, that will not need additional salt. Excessive salt is not good for a dog and it can cause dehydration and vomiting.

Answer 3

I personally dont think that it can kill the dog. But a lot of salt may get a bit to harmful and I dont think its bad for dogs to swim in salt water. But if they lick it, it may. Not really that harmful to dogs, but alot of salt can be harmful.
