Pets need delicious healthy food too! My Cooper, AKA Coop dog, loves to help out in the kitchen. And by help I mean wait for something to drop on the floor and he’ll gladly clean it up ๐
Most dog treats and foods are filled with animal by products, corn, and a whole bunch of other junk our pets should not be eating. Yuck!
Sweet potato treats are super easy to make and your dog will gobble them up. Plus they are low in calories!
Store them in the fridge in an air tight container and they will be good for the week.
From Thug Kitchen |ย Makes about 15-20 treats
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato
Directions
- Pre heat oven to 300 degrees
- Cut sweet potato lengthwise, about 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake on a cookie sheet for 25 minutes and flip over and bake for another 25 minutes longer. Some will shrivel up, but your dog will them!
Your dog will love them!
Coopy made it into a post! He’s a star ๐ Mmmm Coopy Snacks!
He did so good for his first appearance! Of course he will do just about anything for food ๐ I like the name Coopy Snacks!
I love your coopy puppy dog. I know how they do love to keep the kitchen floor clean. Great job Coop and your beautiful. Fixing to make my babies some coopy snacks
Great idea! Thanks so much for sharing! Your coop dog is adorable!
I have 2 – and they love carrots – I gotta try this recipe for them
These are so awesome! I’ll have to make some for my parent’s dog. He’s a spoiled boy and will love them ๐
My dog has had surgery for bladder stones and is on a strict diet, only allowed to eat Royal Canin SO. Does anyone know if he can have these?
I would check with your vet. Our day g had that surgery twice, and then she went on Royal Canin too. Sadly, we lost her “this date” two years ago!!
I’m making these now for my Maggie and junebug thanks for posting
So quick, so easy! I know exactly where the treats are coming from, and the most important part…MY DAPHNE LOVES THEM!!! She waiting patiently while they were cooking and proceeded to gobble to chips down as soon as they were cool! Thank you!
Made these before too! So good. ๐

Are these made with sweet potatoes or yams?
You can use yams ๐
I think I cut mine too thick or something because they didn’t turn out very crisp at all. I think I needed to cook them for longer and cut them thinner. I tried freezing them and giving them to my dog frozen, she liked them but only licked them. Definitely going to try again but this time was a bust!
Darn! Yes you do need to cut them pretty thin.
I have bought dried sweet potato’s at high end pet food store before and my Ike just loves them. I will be sure to try making them now. Mr. Ike can be in sweet potato treats for months at the cost of just one bag from the pet food store. Awesome… Tail wags too!
These turned out great!!!! My Furbabies loved them. Thanks so much for the idea!!!!!
Cooper looks like a sweetheart!
My Westie LOVES sweet potatoes….in any form…cooked or raw. We grow our own so I make these often, but use my dehydrator instead of my oven.
I’m excited to try and make these today. My fathers dog Jack has just been diagnosed with a tumor in his lung and is now on a strict diet. All natural and no chem filled pre bought treats anymore. I’m hoping that these will be a new favorite for him. Thank you for the recipe!
