HI, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sweet potatoes in moderation are not a problem. Your dog should be fine. I would hold off feeding her for 12 hours then feed as normal. Do not let her drink to much water-just sips. Watch her for an upset tummy (vomiting, lethargy and diarrhea). I hope this helps!
