White potatoes belong to the nightshade family of vegetables, which includes tomatoes. Like unripe tomatoes, raw potatoes contain solanine, a compound that is toxic to dogs. Dogs should never eat raw potatoes. Cooking a potato reduces the levels of solanine. Dogs should never eat french fries, potato chips, or any other type of potato fried in oil or with any seasonings. Giving a dog too many carbohydrates can result in obesity or other health problems, and diabetic dogs should never eat potatoes because they can cause blood sugar spikes. Dogs can eat small amounts of bite-size pieces of plain, unseasoned, unsalted, cooked potato. Sweet potatoes are a healthier alternative to white potatoes because they are much more nutritious.
Caution: Recent research has suggested that several foods, such as peas, legumes, and potatoes, while not toxic, may not be appropriate to be fed to dogs regularly. Read more.
