Can Dogs Eat Apples?

Yes, without seeds

Yes. Fresh apple slices are a low-calorie treat with fibre and vitamins. Remove the core and seeds: the seeds contain amygdalin, which releases cyanide when chewed, and the core can be a choking hazard.

Tips

  • Wash and slice; skin on is fine
  • Avoid apple pie, sauces with xylitol, and caramel apples
  • Introduce slowly — too much can upset the stomach
