Can Dogs Eat Potatoes?

Dogs can eat potatoes, but they must be cooked, and it is not advisable to eat too much at a time, just eat one at a time, otherwise it will cause the dog to have symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. It is best to make potatoes into mash and then give them to dogs, which is easier to digest and will not irritate the stomach.

Potatoes contain a toxic substance called "solanine", which may cause death if a dog ingests a large amount, but the solanine will be decomposed after the potatoes are fully heated until they are fully cooked. Therefore, if potatoes must be given to dogs, they must be cooked. When giving potatoes to dogs, you must peel them first, otherwise it will be difficult to digest and cause the dog to vomit. Cooked potatoes are relatively soft, and it is easy for dogs to get on the hair, and even turn the hair into a potato color, so remember to clean up the dog after feeding potatoes.

hint:

Potatoes cannot be used as the staple food of dogs, and must be fed with various other ingredients. Do not feed your dog sprouted potatoes, even cooked ones. Potatoes are poisonous after sprouting, so don’t let your dog be poisoned. Do not throw sprouted potatoes in the house at will, but dispose of them in time to prevent dogs from eating them by mistake. Raw potatoes are a no-no for dogs due to solanine. Solanine is a toxic compound found in plants in the nightshade family, including white potatoes and tomatoes. Usually, these foods don't contain enough solanine to be harmful to humans, but depending on the amount, it can be toxic to dogs. Cooking potatoes uses up a lot of solanine, making it less dangerous for dogs to eat. If you're going to give your dog a potato, it should be baked or boiled with no additives.
