Hey there! No question is a dumb question when it comes to our furry friends, so I'm glad you asked. Sweet potatoes themselves are a healthy treat for dogs, but sweet potato skins can be a bit tough for your puppy like Max to digest. In small amounts, they're generally safe, but it's better to be cautious.
If Max happens to nibble on some sweet potato skins, keep an eye out for these symptoms:
If he shows mild symptoms, you can usually manage this at home by withholding food for a few hours (still provide fresh water) and then reintroducing a bland diet like boiled chicken and rice.
If he eats a large amount of skins or if the symptoms are severe or persistent, like continuous vomiting or diarrhea, it's best to give your vet a call. However, for a small nibble, there's usually no reason to worry.
If you're unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
