Okay? We know what you’re thinking. Isn’t this reserved for pie ? Nope.
When we think of our pet’s diet we envision grey wolves chasing down their prey and clacking their teeth on the bones afterward. We don’t imagine a nose poking around the dirt for this wonderful tuber! Time to change that thinking.
Nutritionally, sweet potatoes are an under looked source of many essential macro and micro-nutrients.
One whole large/medium/small cooked sweet-potato:
162 calories/103 calories/54 calories
1% fat
93% carbs
6% protein
These golden dirt-nuggets also contain 692% of our daily need of Vitamin A and 59% of our daily vitamin C content. Since our four legged friends don’t fair well with citrus, this is a great natural way to include vitamin A and C into their diets. In addition, the low fat content can help supplement a raw diet OR help cut calories when our furry friends need to lose a few pounds.
As far as consumption goes. Treats are the way to go! Slice them, dice them, or mince them anyway you please. I prefer using a mandolin slicer to make long slivers of goodness. If my dog is lucky, I’ll save some for him!
Directions:
preheat oven too 350
Slice one whole sweet potato (in style preferred)
Rub aluminum-foiled pan with coconut oil to prevent sticking
bake for 20 minutes, or until crisp.
There you have it folks! fresh natural treats in 20 minutes for you or Fido.
When life gets in the way, I buy sweet potato treats because they are almost always:
- Made and sourced in the USA
- ONE Ingredient! (Sweet potatoes)
- Cheaper than other processed treats on the market
The dog park crew prefers these treats:
*Thick cut! So they aren’t gobbled in 2 seconds and help clean your dogs teeth.

Sweet potatoes are great for dogs but in moderation, it can cause some dogs to have diarrhea, especially Huskies. I’ve learned to feed them sweet potatoes once a week. 😉🐶
