White and sweet potatoes are both safe, tasty options to serve your dog. Although a side of potato salad with mayo and other ingredients is off-limits, a plain potato can be shared with your dog. Sweet potatoes are a healthier, nutrient-rich option.
Considerations to keep in mind:
-Avoid adding butter, oils, and seasonings
-Remove potato skins before serving, as they can be difficult to digest
-Ensure they are fully cooked, since raw potatoes contain a compound called solanine that can be toxic to dogs
