My Golden has newly discovered valve disease and the cardiologist has put her on a moderate sodium diet. All the better dog foods all contain pretty high sodium. The lowest I’ve found so far is Weruva Chicken and Lentils at .225% as fed / .27% dry matter. While some salt is necessary for the dog to like it and eat it, I’m looking for the lowest 5ish star food that anyone can suggest! Any and all [real] suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I think prescription food/therapeutic diet would be best, as your vet has recommended.
Otherwise, ask your vet if this will meet your criteria?

I have a Doberman with Heart Disease. I’m feeding Orijen Original (in the morning) and Solid Gold Barking at the Moon (in the evening) for variety. They are both very high quality foods. I emailed both companies and the sodium content is 0.3%. My dogs cardiologist thinks both foods are good choices.
