Sodium selenite is an inorganic form of selenium. Selenium is needed in a dog's diet. At the time sodium selenite was approved for use in dog foods, it was not known that it poses a high risk for dogs. Unfortunately, its use has not been stopped, but there are dog foods that do not have sodium selenite added to them.

In order to avoid feeding your dogs dog food that contains sodium selenite, read the ingredients on the package. Sodium selenite should not be listed, though if grains are listed the food may contain some levels of sodium selenite that is present in the grains, depending on what soil the gran was grown in.
