Ok to give canned fish with salt?
Hi - I have been trying to add more fresh foods to my two dog's diet but I am having trouble finding canned fish that doesn't have salt in it.
I give canned sardines in Spring water but other than that it seems like most canned fish like salmon and tuna packed in water also contains salt. Have any of you seen brands that don't have added salt that I am overlooking? Or, am I over-concerned about added salt - maybe it isn't bad for them? Thanks!

Clover leaf has a low sodium in water.
http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/pr...romSearch=true Gold Seal also has some tuna and salmon with no salt added http://www.goldseal.ca/health/nutrient_salmon.asp I also read on some gov.health site that those on a low sodium diet should rinse canned fish first as it is suppose to remove most of the salt(they said it should remove almost all of it).

Thank you for your reply - I'll have to look around for those - I don't think I've ever noticed the low sodium ones but it's good to know that rinsing removes a lot of the salt!
