Most of us love sweet potatoes. But are they good for dogs to eat? Our dachshunds love them! They are very beneficial to all of us. They are a great source of dietary fiber. They will help with loose stools in dogs. They contain vitamin C, vitamin B6, and manganese. They are low in fat but rich in the antioxidant beta-carotene. Vitamin A is what beta-carotene is converted to once digested. This is essential for healthy eyes, muscle strength, and growth. We want them not to be deficient in Vitamin A so that they won’t have night blindness, poor skin, or poor hair quality. They will love the sweet taste of them. To get the most nutrients out of them boil or bake them. Start out slow when giving them. Give between a teaspoon to a tablespoon to see if the digestive system is going to handle the new food.  So we can all enjoy sweet potatoes even our fur babies!
