Natalie is probably right about the canned salmon but my Danes get a can a week each and my cats split a can. I pour out the liquid before feeding hoping to get rid of some of the salt. I don't think the ones I feed are packed in water. I haven't been able to find any like that.canned salmon is too salty? really? i thought if it's packed in water like sardines packed in water, then the sodium content would be lower? no?
i would imagine if you rinse the salmon, you'd be getting rid of some of the sodium...Natalie is probably right about the canned salmon but my Danes get a can a week each and my cats split a can.

so...even the 'packed in water' stuff has sodium....makes sense.Fresh salmon is not salty at all. Canned salmon is super salty. Same with most raw natural fishes compared to the canned version. Why? Because it's packed with peoples taste buds in mind. Canned fish would be downright repulsive if it weren't salted a bit. This is probably why dogs that won't eat fresh fish gobble down canned fish, it just tastes better.
