However with regard to something as serious as "congestive heart failure", I wouldn't want to lead you astray in any way. I would think it important though, to choose a food high in moisture. This particular formula is claimed to have a maximum moisture content of 78%, which is pretty good and rivals raw food in moisture percentage. I would also recommend that you choose a good raw food brand and formula until you get accustomed to feeding your dog raw, then you can progress to raw meaty bones etc. These all contain Mother Nature's rightful sodium amounts, and nothing added, like there is in processed foods. Raw meaty real fresh foods, are Nature's natural medicine and healer in most cases. DFA's resident ACCN (Animal Certified Clinical Nutritionist) should be able to give you better advice. Like that one, Shawna? ;) Also salt is actually an essential mineral required by every mammal to sustain life.

The meat and carb content also naturally contain some salt in them. The following link takes you straight to this product's official description "Guaranteed Analysis" section http://www.wellnesspetfood.com/product-details.aspx?pet=dog&pid=62#guaranteed-analysis, but you would have to contact the company to find out what their claim to the amount of actual salt in the product.

One of our chihuahuas has congestive heart failure and salt intake must be restricted to avoid fluid retention. Any help out there?
