Can My Dog Eat Salt?

Maybe not. Dogs become quickly dehydrated if they eat a lot of salt or foods that are high in sodium. If your dog licks a little salt off the table, he’ll be fine. If your dog consumes a lot of salt in a short period of time and there’s no water available, your dog is at risk for salt poisoning. Salt poisoning causes neurological issues and can be deadly if your dog eats an extreme amount of salt.
