Why It's Dangerous

Raw and green potatoes (including the skin of greening potatoes) contain solanine, a natural defence toxin. Cooking destroys solanine so fully cooked, plain potato is safe. Never feed raw potato or potato with green patches.

Symptoms to Watch For

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhoea
  • Lethargy
  • Weakness
  • Tremors in larger amounts

Vet Guidance

Call your vet if a significant amount of raw or green potato was eaten.
