Can dogs eat apples?

Many dog owners enjoy sharing a piece of apple with their pup, but is it actually safe? Good news: yes, dogs can eat apples! However, because apples contain natural sugars, they should only be given in small amounts.

Key points:

• Yes, dogs can eat apples, but only in small amounts due to their natural sugar content.
• Apples are packed with vitamins, minerals and fibre that support your dog’s health.
• Not every dog will enjoy the taste or texture of apples.
• Always remove the core and seeds before feeding apples to your dog, as they can be harmful.
