Apples

Yes, we all know that apples are good for us, but what about dogs? Well, according to animal experts, dogs can eat apples as well. 

Apples are an impressive source of vitamin C, fiber, calcium, and phosphorus and they are good for your dog’s teeth. When feeding your dog, the best solution is to cut the apple into small slices and remove the seeds. Apple seeds contain a toxic substance called cyanide, so try to feed your dog seedless apples!  

“Some senior dogs, or dogs prone to certain illnesses, must limit their meaty treats due to protein restrictions, or stick to a low fat diet,” says Dr. Oscar E. Chavez, DVM and chief medical officer of JustFoodForDogs. “Apples, being low in protein and fat, make a great treat substitute for these dogs.”

“Use apples to supplement smaller portions of their normal food, and introduce fruit to their diet gradually,” says Dr. Kerri Marshall, DVM and chief veterinary officer of Trupanion Pet Insurance.
