Can dogs eat raw sweet potatoes?
Dogs can eat raw sweet potatoes, but they should not overfeed them. The crude fiber in raw sweet potatoes is extremely difficult for dogs to digest. Eating too much can cause bloating in dogs and cause gastroenteritis.
It is best for breeders to feed cooked sweet potatoes. After cooking, the crude fiber in the sweet potatoes becomes soft and can be digested by the dog's stomach. However, don’t overfeed, as overfeeding can cause gastric bloating.
Sweet potatoes can relax the intestines, promote excretion in dogs, and help detoxify. When dogs suffer from constipation, breeders can feed them appropriately to solve the dog’s constipation problem.
