As a dog owner, you want to treat your furry friend with something special from time to time. What better way to do that than with a homemade apple tart? Apples are not only delicious, but they also have health benefits for dogs. In this post, we will share a simple and healthy recipe for apple tart for dogs that your pet will love.

Can Dogs Eat Apples?

The short answer is yes, dogs can eat apples in moderation. Apples are a great source of vitamins A and C, as well as fiber, which can aid in digestion. They also contain antioxidants, which can help boost your dog’s immune system and reduce inflammation. However, it is important to note that apples should always be given to dogs in moderation, as too much can cause upset stomach or diarrhea. Additionally, the core and seeds of the apple should always be removed, as they contain small amounts of cyanide, which can be toxic to dogs if consumed in large quantities.

Dogs can even eat the skin, in moderation. However, if your dog is prone to upset stomach, it is recommended to remove the skin first.  The only part of the apple dogs cannot eat is the seeds and core as they contain small amounts of cyanide, which can be toxic to dogs.  While the amount of cyanide in apple seeds is generally not harmful to humans, dogs are much smaller and can be more susceptible to the toxic effects of the substance. Symptoms of cyanide poisoning in dogs can include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, lethargy, and difficulty breathing. It is always important to remove the seeds and core of apples before giving them to your dog to avoid any potential risks.
