Question

Precious is a 63 pound Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Is it safe to give her 1 apple a day as a snack? Pet's info: Dog | Staffordshire Bull Terrier | Female | spayed | 63 lbs

Apples are safe to give to dogs, although I would make sure she chews and doesn’t eat an apple whole. Technically the seeds contain cyanide but this isn’t a concern unless the seeds are ground. Apples do have calories so you should make sure that treats do not make up more than 10% of her diet.
