Potato or sweet potato

Only cooked, peeled and unseasoned

Documented data setDo not feed raw, green or sprouting potatoes. Cooked, peeled potato may be offered in small amounts.

Raw potatoes can contain solanine. Cooking lowers the risk; oil, butter, salt, seasoning and difficult-to-digest skin can quickly turn an otherwise possible food into an unsuitable treat.

What now?

Call a veterinarian after raw, green or sprouting potato exposure or if signs develop. Otherwise offer only a few soft, fully cooked pieces.
