Excess salt dangerous for dogs

  If your dog has congestive heart failure, their veterinarian may have recommended changes to their diet. Other chronic conditions may also be present which can affect your dog's diet. It's important to adhere to the new changes in your dog's diet as much as possible because this has a positive effect on their health. 

Dogs that have congestive heart failure tend to retain chloride, sodium and water. This is why it's important to limit the intake of sodium and chloride through your dog's food. 

It may be difficult to do this with a regular food that's designed for adult dogs. However, since approximately 1/3 of dogs over the age of 10 have heart problems it's relatively easy to find special diets that are formulated with less sodium chloride (salt).

Diet for Elder Cats

  A senior cat diet should consist of food that supplies them with the right nutrients. However, since your cat is older  you need to ensure that their food is soft enough for them to chew comfortably. Feeding an elderly cat dry food is not a good idea in the long  term.

If possible, it's best to feed your elderly cat a raw diet. Cats must have protein but they don't need carbohydrates. You can feed fish or any other source of protein to your cat. This should be gently cooked or raw.
