Low Sodium/ Low Carb Food

[Doodles & Karen]

I found this chart that lists the sodium content. http://www.felinecrf.org/canned_food_usa.htm

Does anyone know the range considered for low sodium?

I would get clarification on what constitutes "low sodium"? Here is a chart showing it categorized in this way: mild, moderate, marked, and extreme restriction.

Thank you very much. I'm a bit overwhelmed. My boy was just DX with severe HCM & congestive heart failure. Of course being diabetic and a picky eater.

Thanks again, I will take a look at the group. I also found these as guidelines.

Sodium restriction guidelines:

• No signs of heart disease, mild restriction: <100 mg/100kcal or 0.35?0.50% DM
• Early heart failure, moderate restriction: <80 mg/100 kcal or 0.1-0.35% DM
• Advanced heart failure, severe restriction: <50 mg/100 kcal or <0.10% DM
• Note: high sodium diets or treats are those than contain >0.50% DM
