Pourquoi ?

Sweet potato is one of the most nutritionally valuable foods you can offer a dog. Rich in beta-carotene (vitamin A precursor), vitamin C, manganese, potassium, and dietary fiber, it is used in commercial dog foods specifically for its digestive and immune benefits.

Cooked sweet potato is vastly preferable to raw — raw sweet potato is harder to digest and more likely to cause intestinal blockage if large pieces are swallowed. Steamed, boiled, or baked (plain, no butter, sugar, or seasoning) is the best form.
