Cooked Yams Are Safe to Incorporate Into Your Dog's Diet If you cook the yam or potato, this reduces the solanine and oxalate levels, making it safe for your dog to eat.
Are yams or sweet potatoes better for dogs?
Yes! Yams, both true yams and the sweet potato variety, are an excellent addition to your dog's diet in small, cooked, unseasoned servings.
How much yams can I give my dog?
Dogs should start out with very small amounts of sweet potato, usually no more than one or two ounces per serving. Toy breed dogs should start with a quarter or half of an ounce (about two to three teaspoons) and large breed dogs can have a little bit extra if they tolerate the first serving well.
