My dog accidentaly ate boiled potatoes with some salt in it. Not much salt was in it, she was able to drink enough water and is not showing symptoms of saltpoisoning but should I be concerned?

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I would not be concerned at all by this. As long as your dog is acting normally and not showing any signs of gastrointestinal upset (vomiting/diarrhea), I would not be worried. I hope this is helpful!
