5 Easy Sweet Potato Recipes For Doodles

Hey there, Doodle Owners! Elina here.

If your Doodle is anything like mine, sweet potatoes are basically their love language.

I love feeding my Bernedoodle, Oscar, sweet potatoes as a treat, but most store-bought options are packed with questionable ingredients.

So, here are five simple, nutritious sweet potato treat recipes that you can make at home in minutes. They’re cheaper than the store-bought kind and made with clean ingredients you can actually feel good about!

Sweet potatoes are the definition of delicious and nutritious. They’re loaded with vitamins A, B6, and C, plus they’re rich in dietary fiber, which can help with the digestion issues a lot of Doodles deal with. On top of that, they have potassium and iron to support muscle function and keep your pup feeling energetic and strong.

Since dogs are omnivores, studies show they thrive on a balanced diet that includes both animal protein and veggies. Adding whole foods like sweet potatoes gives them a natural dose of antioxidants to help fight inflammation and support overall cellular health.

Talk about a win-win-win! These crispy sweet potato chews are super simple to make, act as natural dental chews, and help reduce plaque. You can easily make them in the oven or an Air Fryer.

• 1–2 medium sweet potatoes

• 1 tbsp of coconut oil (optional)

1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
2. Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly.
3. Slice into ¼-inch thick rounds (you can cut lengthwise for longer chews).
4. Arrange the sweet potato rounds in single layers on the baking sheet.
5. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potato rounds are dry and crisp.

These frozen treats are perfect for the summer, and since they're frozen, they will keep your Doodle cool and entertained. You can even prepare these in batches of 24 cubes to use throughout the month.

• ¼ cup plain yogurt

1. In a bowl, mix all ingredients until well combined.
2. Spoon the mixture into an ice cube tray or silicone mold.
3. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
4. Once frozen, pop them out and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.

These bite-sized treats are perfect for training sessions. Since they are small, you can reward your Doodle frequently without overfeeding.

These chewy strips combine lean protein from the chicken with the fiber and nutrients from the sweet potatoes, making for a high-value reward.
