Is it OK to give apples to dogs?

Or sliced up apples.

Thanks

Yes, beware they are very sugary also it has been known for dogs to be found drunk and disorderly after massive consumption of windfalls :D

Have a dog who LOVES apples and goes into the woods after the wind falls, when they are going rotton he walks home in wrigly lines!!!! woops!  onlead nowday during windfalls!!

i give mine the cores to chew & eat, not had any probs! only the odd one haer & there though!

i thought it might be quite an easy thing to put in a kong with other stuff

i feed my rottie an apple a week chopped up and put inside her toys, she's seems fine with them :)

Mine has apple cores too. The pips actually contain cyanide and are poisonous in large amounts but the odd few are OK :)

amazing post, i have kept quiet about my gsd bitch as i thought id be taken as a crack pot.[dafty]
my girl first stole an apple out of the fruit dish and really enjoyed eating every last morsel of it.
soooooo as a treat every week i give her an apple she loves it and it doesnt seem to have given her the runs.
I was told that what is good for humans is good for animals especially dogs, well in moderation, i would'nt part with my tia maria and coke and give her the same;
An apple a day keeps the doctor away? so why not an apple a week keeps the vet?

My ESS loves 'em too. He sits watching the kids eat theirs in case he gets the cores!

Bess sits and watches me eat mine and puts her head on one side every time I bite into it. :D  (She's an ESS too :) )

Not strictly true, chocolate, onions, are certainly not good for dogs

Toby loves apples and we often share one, i eat the apple he eats the core, he sits there waiting for me to finish,

Never had a problem giving them to mine as a treat now and then, although since I have had Elly (7 months) we now have fruit bowls up very high, the lovely wicker baskets that used to hold the fruit and veg in the kitchen are now empty.............................. she sees nothing wrong in helping herself soooooooooooooo change of storage for us lol...

My Kali(aged 11) has always eaten them. Mind you she also helps herself to the strawberries whilst they are still on the plants. Only nice ripe ones of course ;)

Mia will literally sit on the end of your nose when you are eating an apple, she prefers them to dog biscuits!  The other 3 look longingly at me too so I have to end up sharing the end of my apple with them!

lol know this one well, no one in the house here eats our strawberries since seeing Ebony testing them!!  If they weren't quite ripe she would leave them on the stalks for the unknowing person to later pick and eat ewwwwwwwwwwww...

Hector, at 12 weeks, reached the fruit bowl on the sideboard and ate all the grapes off the bunch without touching the stalks! Now if only that skill could be harnessed to do soemthing useful...

It is believed that grapes in quantity (and raisins) can be fatal to some dogs therefore I would recommend grapes as an occasional treat only rather than a feast.

Hi

My Luna loves apples. When she was a little puppy, she could spend hours eating an semi-big apple.

Now she gets an apple a couple times a week. And she also likes carrots.

We have three smallish apple trees in the garden and seven Large Munsterlanders so guess who never gets to pick any apples cos they have all been scrumped off the trees.I do slightly better with blackberries - they let me have the ones at the top that they can't reach.(black berries don't shake off like apples do!). THe munsters have always done this so I guess they don't harm them -Jack is now 13years and his mum lived to 15 years.

mollie loves strwberries every summer she gets the first pickings she has all red around her lips and she loves them she also loves cherries without stones take them out first and apples but i stopped giving them to her because i thought it was too dangereous she also loves grapes banned from them too

Swanne our 14 year old corgi, loves apples and always waits for the cores, but her favourites are olives and she picked up this habit from when we were living in Greece, she used to eat them stones as well and though I used to worry, it has not seemed to have done her any harm, she crunches the stones. Now living back in the U.K she has decided that damsons are a good substitute and in the autumn waits for them to fall off the tree.!!!.

LOVE olives :)  Nicest ones are loose from Safeway with herbs and stuffed with lemon :)

Our Cavaliers just love fruit and veg, they sit in a semi circle at my side whilst I prepare veg and enjoy the bits of carrot, cabage and green beans,  they don't like potatoes or celery.  It is also impossible to peel just one orange here, they love to share and so it is a piece for me and a piece for each of them and so on.  Daft ar'nt I but I love them.
