Sweet potato slices are rich in natural carbohydrates, which can provide gentle and sustained energy for pets during their daily activities, preventing sudden spikes and drops in blood sugar. They are suitable for the energy needs of puppies, kittens, and elderly pets at different physiological stages. At the same time, they retain the dietary fiber, β-carotene, potassium, vitamin C and other nutrients in sweet potatoes. Dietary fiber can promote pet intestinal peristalsis and reduce constipation; β-carotene can be converted into vitamin A, protecting pet vision and skin health. The natural nutritional properties align with the "health-oriented" trend of pet food.
The sweet aroma inherent in sweet potato chips can significantly enhance the palatability of pet food, especially having a strong appeal to picky pets, and can reduce the situation of pets refusing to eat. In terms of form, dried sweet potato chips can be directly used as pet snacks to meet the chewing needs of pets; they can also be crushed and added to pet dry or wet food, by adjusting the particle size or texture, to enrich the taste layers of the food and balance between "tasty" and "easy to chew".

They can replace grains such as corn and wheat and are used to develop hypoallergenic pet food, reducing allergic reactions in pets with allergic constitutions. Moreover, their dietary fiber content is higher than that of ordinary grains, which can increase the pet's feeling of fullness and can be used as a raw material for weight management pet food, helping to control the pet's food intake and preventing obesity.
The processing technology of sweet potato slices is mature. Dried sweet potato slices can be used directly or simply ground without the need for complex pre-treatment, which reduces the production cost of pet food processes. Fresh sweet potato slices, after being washed, sliced, and dried, can inactivate potential harmful microorganisms in the raw materials through high-temperature treatment, ensuring product safety. At the same time, its natural components do not contain chemical additives. Even if pets consume excessive amounts, it is unlikely to cause digestive burden, and it has both practicality and safety.
