Why is sea salt used in some Natura Pet Products?
Sea salt is used in Naturas foods to provide the essential nutrients sodium and chloride. In nature, the majority of dietary sodium and chloride comes from eating fresh prey. Not adding a source of sodium could rapidly lead to problems with the heart and kidneys and feeding a food deficient in chloride could lead to problems with the nervous system. Natura does not use excessive levels of sodium to increase the foods palatability, but rather relies on the inherent wholesomeness of our ingredients to make foods that dogs and cats love to eat.
