Any Q

When feeding your dog a sweet potato, make sure it's cooked and that the skin is removed; leaving the skin on makes it harder for your dog to digest. You should never feed your dog a raw sweet potato. Not only are they difficult to chew, but they can upset your dog's stomach and potentially cause intestinal blockage.


What should I do if my dog eats raw sweet potato?

Your dog should be fine. I would hold off feeding her for 12 hours then feed as normal. Do not let her drink to much water-just sips. Watch her for an upset tummy (vomiting, lethargy and diarrhea).

Are raw sweet potatoes poisonous to dogs?

What about raw sweet potatoes? White potatoes are from the nightshade family, making them toxic if fed to dogs raw. However, sweet potatoes, since they aren't related to white potatoes, are not toxic. Cooked sweet potatoes are great for your pooch, but raw sweet potatoes may cause a belly ache or intestinal upset.
