Any Q

If your dog ate sweet potatoes and is reacting adversely, contact your local veterinarian immediately.


How much raw sweet potato can a dog have?

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.

Will raw sweet potatoes hurt 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.
