Can dogs have too much sweet potato?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

“Too much of a good thing can cause bone and muscle weakness, due to excessive vitamin A,” Dr. Barrack stresses. Carbohydrates, such as sweet potatoes, should not be a dog's main source of nutrition; animal protein should be a daily part of their diet, as well.


How much sweet potato can a dog have per day?

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.

Can my dog eat sweet potato everyday?

As with many other fruits or vegetables, sweet potatoes should be fed to your dog in moderation and as occasional treats, NOT as a regular diet. Too much of a good thing, even if it's nutritious, should be offered in small amounts first to avoid any allergic response or intolerance.
