Can Dogs Eat Sweet Potatoes?

Although white potatoes are best avoided for your dog due to their starch content, sweet potatoes are a great food for them.

The skin should be removed from the sweet potatoes and they need to be cooked before giving to your dogs. Raw sweet potatoes may not digest as well.

Sweet potatoes are a great source of fiber, vitamins C, A and B6 as well as being low in fat. They dogs seem to enjoy the sweet flavour too.

Remember to go slowly when introducing new foods. And we recommend checking with your veterinarian first if your dog has any digestive issues or other health concerns.

The Best Things About Air Fryer Dog Treats

Making air fryer dog treats is a great option if you don't want the oven on (especially in summer) as well as a great way to play with your air fryer!

It's also quicker than baking them but you may need to make a couple of batches if your air fryer is fairly small as the dog treats need to be cooked in one layer.

How to make 3 ingredient sweet potato dog treats in the air fryer

homemade dog treat process
  1. Add the 3 ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Work into a dough.
  3. Roll out the dough in between two layers of parchment paper. The thinner the dough, the crispier the cookie.
  4. Use a shaped cookie cutter to cut out the treats. We tried our bone shapes and they didn't work as well. The circular cutters were easier to use.
  5. Place a layer of parchment paper in the air fryer basket and place the cookies on top. Cook for 8 minutes, turning over for even crispiness.
  6. Once cool, they can be given as a treat.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to store these 3 ingredient homemade treats

Keep these treats in a sealed container in the refrigerator. They should last up to 2 weeks.

Can you freeze these treats?

If you want to save a few treats for later, place them in a zip lock bag and freeze them. They will last up to 3 months. Defrost them before giving them as a treat.

Can you bake these sweet potato treats in the oven?

If you don't have an air fryer, these dog treats can be baked in the oven. Cook them for about 15 minutes, turning over half way at 200C/400F degrees.

Can I use another flour?

If you substitute the coconut flour with another dog friendly flour, such as rice flour you will need to increase the quantity. Coconut flour is very absorbent so less is required for baked goods.

What's the serving size

Servings will vary to your size of your dog and what else they have eaten that day. Include dog treats as part of their daily allowance rather than in addition to it.
