Whether you are hosting dinner for family and friends or traveling across the country, everyone can agree, the holidays are a busy time of year! In our household we are doing a little bit of everything – having company for a few days as well as traveling and preparing several dishes to bring to family celebrations.

Including the Dogs in our Holiday Festivities

As I’m sure you can imagine, we like to include the dogs in our Thanksgiving festivities. After all, they are family! As a MyDogLikes reader we feel pretty comfortable assuming that you probably feel the same way about your pup(s) too!

In recent days, the boys have been inspecting and evaluating all of our holiday preparations (including the giant sweet potato they spotted). After some sad, puppy dog eyes, and lots of drool, the boys were eager to hear how they could get involved with the festivities (particularly the eating).

You might be wondering…with so much already on our plates, how do we make sure to have something special planned for the pups?

The Benefits of Sweet Potato in a Dogs Diet

Wondering why Sweet Potato?

The Carotenoids (pigments) found in sweet potatoes can act as powerful antioxidants – boosting immune function, improving night vision and helping to maintain a healthy lining of your dogs digestive tract, respiratory tract and skin.

Sweet Potatoes are high in soluble fiber which can help to regulate your dogs digestive tract and prevent loose stools.

Sweet Potatoes are also high in Vitamins A, C and B6

An Alternative to Rawhide

We all know that dogs love rawhide. It satisfies their natural desire to chew and if we are being honest, can keep our dogs busy and entertained when we don’t have the time or energy. For years, we fed rawhide bones to Harley trusting that a product that was produced and sold for dogs, would be healthy and safe. In recent years however, we have learned that there are some serious concerns with not only how rawhide is produced but its ability (or lack thereof) to be digested properly. Furthermore, many dogs can be prone to swallowing large pieces whole which can put them at a risk for intestinal blockages!

Due to the texture and consistency, Dr. Harvey’s sweet potate’r chews make for a great alternative. A quick look at the GIF above will give you a better idea as to why!

Enough chit-chat, I don’t think the dogs can wait one second longer!

Time for the Taste Test!

While it only took a few moments for our strong and powerful chewers to make their way through one of these treats, Mia (the fur cousin) is a dainty lady, and it took her several minutes more. Regardless of how long it took them to eat, the boys seemed to love the “taffy” style of these treats. It is best to describe the consistency and “chewability” as a cross between rawhide and jerky.

All the dogs LOVED these sweet potato dog treats and were immediately begging for more.
