Thanks! I figured you had gone to bed. So did I. I read that you use half of the iodized salt. Not sure if I'm going out today because my mom is working all day so if this is what I can use, it would help a lot. That's the brand my mom buys all the time too. I'd like to try the fish capsules. My order still needs $2 and some cents for free shipping.Good morning, y'all! I got sleepy last night and went to bed.
Sea salt does not naturally have iodine, so it won't work. The salt is for the iodine. It is mixed table salt and potassium chloride to lower the sodium. You can use iodized table salt...I think that you use half, but would have to look that up. One of the recipes says how much regular iodized salt to use.
On fish: I buy the small tins of sardines, and the larger cans of salmon and mackerel for Omega-3's instead of using fish oil. On Sunday, I split a can of sardines between the cats, or weigh out 2 ounces of fish for each cat of the larger cans (the dog eats the rest). All the fish I buy is packed in water, but I can't find unsalted in water (which would be better). I rinse the fish, but there is still quite a bit of salt left I'm sure. If you can find unsalted tins of fish packed in water, that would be best. That puts some Omega-3 in their diet, but they would be getting more Omega-3's by using the oil.
There's issues with toxins in fish oil capsels and even some Dr prescribed gone rancid. If you can do tinned sardines in water I'm sure that's a great.I think that because Valentine's cat has such horrible reactions to anything "fish", except the distilled oils, she is more wary. She also did a lot of research, so I'm certain the brand she recommends is the best of the best, quality wise. If you cats have no allergy to fish, the purchase what you can afford (or feed fish). The important components in the oil are the DHA/EPA levels. They should be 300mg or more of the 1000mg fish oil. The more expensive brands have more DHA/EPA, but you can probably use less....actually, you may need to use more of the one's with lower DHA/EPA.
I'm out of my depth on the fish oil discussion (so I just feed fish). I'll leave that back to Valentine. She did study fish oils without her head exploding over the differences in brands, like mine did.
