👨🍳 How to Prepare Apples for Dogs
Wash the apple thoroughly, remove the core and all seeds, then cut into bite-sized slices appropriate for your dog's size. You can serve fresh, frozen for a cool treat, or even dehydrated as apple chips (without added sugar or spices).

- ⚠️Remove the core to prevent choking
- ⚠️Too many apples can cause upset stomach or diarrhea
- ⚠️High in sugar - feed in moderation to diabetic dogs
- ⚠️Introduce gradually to avoid digestive upset
If your dog has diabetes, consult with your vet about portion sizes due to the natural sugar content. Also avoid if your dog has a sensitive stomach or is prone to diarrhea.
