Can your dog eat apples? - Yes!
Just like for you, apples are also →tasty sources of vitamins. They also bind toxins from your dog's stomach and intestinal tract and can therefore have an antioxidant effect.
Why feed apples to your dog?
The apple doesn't fall far from the bowl—or straight into the mouth, that's fine too. Because apples are really healthy for your four-legged friend and →enhance their food. But why exactly should you offer a crisp fresh apple as a snack more often? Let us explain:
Apples are rich in vitamins and provide your furry friend with vitamin C, biotin, vitamin K, and A. The latter is only valuable for your dog—cats don't benefit from it.
Biotin supports your pet's metabolism and is essential for coat and claws .
Vitamin K keeps blood clotting going and supports bowel movement.
Fruit sugar makes food more appealing to your pet—so adding a piece of apple can serve as a natural →appetite stimulant.
Apples contain so-called flavonoids, which have antioxidant effects and help the body fight inflammation.
At Pets Deli, we also know how valuable adding fruits and vegetables to your dog's diet can be. That's why we use crisp fresh fruits and vegetables in our wet food, which your four-legged friend is guaranteed to love!

How and when should I feed my dog apple?
If you offer your dog a whole apple, most pups won't take a hearty bite. Instead, every dog prefers their apple in a different way:
chopped small and raw
with or without skin
sweet or even sour
grated or pureed
If your furry friend likes apples, you can feed them as a treat in between meals. Apple also works great as a topping for breakfast or dinner. You should avoid feeding whole apples, as the seeds contain cyanide, which is toxic for your pet and can cause symptoms like vomiting, trembling, and shortness of breath. Too much apple can affect your dog's stool consistency.
So: A small, daily apple snack benefits your dog's health and is also ideal as a dental treat, which →supports the health of teeth and gums.
