Avoid soy sauce. Even a few licks deliver high sodium. Keep soy-glazed leftovers, condiment cups, and takeout packets out of reach.
Soy sauce is a fermented seasoning made from soybeans, salt, water, and usually wheat, aged for deep savory flavor. Highly concentrated in sodium.
Used in marinades, stir-fries, noodle bowls, sushi dipping, and glaze sauces. Takeout packets from sushi, ramen, and rice bowls are easy for pets to puncture.
Common styles include light soy, dark soy, tamari, and sweet soy. Even reduced-sodium products remain salty. Teriyaki and stir-fry blends often add garlic, onion, sugar, or chili.
