Can dogs eat potatoes and peas?

Regardless of the presence of grain, plant sources such as peas and potatoes should never be considered healthy options to be major portions of a canine diet.

Why are mashed potatoes not good for dogs?

Dogs should never eat raw potatoes as they contain a substance called solanine which is potentially toxic to dogs. However, the levels of solanine are reduced when the potatoes are cooked (so long as they aren't boiled) which is why it's always best to roast them before offering a bite to your pet.
