Sweet potatoes are fine for dogs....maybe the PLANT part isn't, but the potato is. I have a nutritionist from Cornell who is also a vet (both degrees, practicing in nutrition), and he formulated Bella's diet to be balanced and safe for her (she has liver issues). Her carbohydrate is either white potato, sweet potato, or a mixture of the 2...she didn't like the brown rice we tried first. And he said that though it is high in manganese, her diet is high in other minerals that counteract the manganese, so I don't need to worry about that.
