RECIPE: Baked Sweet Potato Chips for Your Dog
It's so easy to make this all-natural treat. Your dog will love it because of its sweetness. You'll love it because of the health benefits.
Banjo is notorious for having digestive issues.
She can be pretty picky about what she eats, especially when it comes to treats, but that doesn’t stop her from occasionally wolfing down something that’s going to cause a weeklong bout of diarrhea. And, as luck would have it, that’s exactly how we spent our last week. Not fun.
A year ago, during a visit to Banjo’s veterinarian, I was advised to feed her sweet potatoes (instead of rice) when she has an upset stomach. The advice paid off, and it’s something I’ve relied on.
So when Banjo was under the weather this week, I picked up sweet potatoes and mashed some into her food. To replace her usual treats, I also baked up some sweet potato chips.
