Butternut squash and sweet potato are both fine to give to Dogz as a treat. They are both high in fiber, and can be used to help with constipation issues and regulating the GI tract, however many owners will give dried versions of both as an alternative to chew toys/bones that are easier to digest and safer to eat. As with any people food, moderation is best, and if Dogz has any underlying allergies or health issues, it is always best to confirm it is OK to give with your regular veterinarian first.
