Can dogs really not eat salt? Please don’t give you “ignorance” and harm it again!
There was a period of time before, there were many articles on the Internet, all saying that dogs should not eat salt. After eating salt, they would get many diseases, such as hair loss and tears. Therefore, many cat slaves who keep pets all talk about "salt" fear.
In fact, this completely makes the dog's behavior of eating salt seriously "devilized".
Today, let’s discuss this problem of being “devilized”.
The first thing everyone should know is that "salt" is indispensable on the road where dogs grow happily. Because the key ingredient in "salt" is a chemical called "sodium oxide". However, it is a very necessary item for dogs in terms of nutritional ingredients. It can help dogs stimulate the "pepsin" in the stomach, and thus make the dog's stomach acid always show acidity and alkalinity, which can promote the dog's digestion and absorption. Most importantly, it can also help the dog's body with the actual effect of sterilization.
Therefore, some people advocate the barking of not allowing dogs to eat salt, which will not be ruined. In fact, the moderate intake of some salt content by dogs can also increase their appetite.
In addition, if the dog does not consume salt for a long time, it will slowly reduce the dog's drinking water, causing symptoms of dehydration, loss of appetite, and in severe cases, it will continue to endanger the dog's terminal development.
Is the "culprit" that makes dogs cry? Is it really "salt"?
Tears on dogs should be the most common situation. The basic principle of the appearance of tears is relatively simple, which is because tears are discharged from the corners of the dog's eyes. In the long run, the simplified tears will be produced.
Little do you know that under all normal conditions, the tear film of the secret tear glands is not easily discharged from the corners of the eyes after nourishing the dog's eyes, but it just flows into the dog's nostrils immediately.
What exactly is the situation that causes the tear film to be discharged from the corners of the eyes, which leads to tears?
First: The dog's tear duct is blocked.
Second: Facial volume, which is mainly caused by some genetic diseases. Since the eyes are constantly touched by some internal eyelashes, the tear film will be metabolized a lot, causing the tear ducts to not be completely discharged, and will eventually be discharged from the corners of the eyes, resulting in tears.
Third: Some ear hole infections can also be caused.
Dogs will also have tears when eating salt, but they need to eat a lot. If everything is taken normally, it will not be easy.
To put it simply, dogs are actually very similar to people. For example, if you eat too salty, you will involuntarily drink water to quench your thirst. Soon, these salts will be excreted from the body along with the urine. Therefore, eating some salt will not easily cause any problems for dogs. Instead, it is beneficial to the body. You must not be too much, because no matter what you eat, too much will definitely cause damage to the body.
If everyone pays attention, they will find that many dog foods actually contain a certain proportion of salt. In the countryside, most people give some leftovers to local dogs, but they don’t know what tears they have experienced.
