About MASHED POTATOES
Mashed potatoes are a dish made from boiled and mashed potatoes, often mixed with ingredients like butter, milk, and seasonings. They can occasionally be found as leftovers or offered as a treat to pets. Plain mashed potatoes (without added ingredients) are generally safe for cats and dogs in small amounts. However, mashed potatoes containing butter, milk, garlic, onions, or excessive salt can be harmful and potentially toxic to pets, causing gastrointestinal upset and other health issues. Therefore, it is best to either avoid feeding mashed potatoes to pets or ensure they are plain and unseasoned.
