Potato Eyes
Solanum tuberosum
Guideline: Poisonous
Type: Vegetables
The potato eyes are the white sprouts that come from the potato and grow from the body. These can be bumps on the potato or full growths on the potato. If grown, these eventually turn into root systems to grow into a potato plant.
For Your Pet: Potato eyes contain high amounts of glycoalkaloids which are toxic. If ingested, potato eyes can cause nervous system damage, gastrointestinal issues, and in more serious events can lead to death.
Warning: Do not feed your pet potato eye as it can cause serious illness and possible death.
Resources: If you believe that your pet has been poisoned immediately call your vet or one of the animal poison control hotlines on this list.
