Can dogs eat apples?
If your dog has already eaten this and you are worried, contact your veterinarian.
Why
Apples provide fiber and vitamins, but the seeds contain trace amounts of cyanide which can be harmful if eaten in large quantities. The high sugar content also means they should only be offered as an occasional snack rather than a meal replacement.
If you do feed it
- Always remove the core, seeds, and stem before feeding.
- Cut apples into small, bite-sized pieces to prevent choking.
- Limit treats to no more than 10% of your dog's daily calorie intake.
- Introduce slowly to check for any digestive upset.
Watch out for
- apple seeds and stems
- apple cores
- canned apples with added sugar or syrup
- apple sauce with sweeteners
