All mamals crave salt to a point. Humans not so much anymore because there is so much salt in the foods they eat. Back in history the hunters often staked out the natural occurring salt licks to insure finding an animal to get for their next meals.

Make sure your dog is getting a good quality dogfood and this should take care of any cravings.

i believe that a dog drinking from a salt pool could eventually make the dog very poorly, as this could lead to the dog becoming dehydrated. and eventually could get salt poisoning, i personally would encourage the dog to drink fresh water and if it had been drinking salt water syringe water into its mouth to try and dilute down the effects of the salt.
