Can cats or dogs eat sweet potato?

Cats: Can eat · Dogs: Can eat — The ASPCA lists sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) as non-toxic to both cats and dogs, and the AKC confirms dogs can eat it — cooked and peeled only, never raw. Too much can push vitamin A too high and affect bones and muscles, and diabetic pets need care because it spikes blood sugar quickly. Candied or fried sweet potato made for people isn't for pets. Steam or boil until soft, peel, then mash or cut into small pieces. Small servings as a treat. For diabetic pets, ask your vet first.
