Extra salt is only useful for a dog when there's hypoadrenia or hyperadrenia. And still then, it's only a tiny amount (about 1/8th of a teaspoon every week, spread out equally over the days). Any other salt can be derived from the meat itself.

Please do not add salt to the meals to make it more palatable for your dog. It's a sure-fire way to crush your dog's renal and adrenal systems. For flavour or scent, consider salmon oil, coconut oil, codliver oil, a bit of butter (either for a quick flash-fry, or just plain raw) and wind it down as your dog gets used to the blander scent and flavour of the meat. We've also made things 'more appetizing' for Bodhi by adding powdered freeze-dried liver. You can get freeze-dried liver treats at the pet store, and those can be ground into powder.
