Can Dogs Eat Apples? Super Foods for Dogs
 |
 |
Yes, dogs can eat apples! This sweet, crispy, affordable fruit is great for your dogs. In fact, for many dogs, apples are a favorite fruit. And that’s a good thing, since apples are packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, C and K, as well as calcium and phosphorus. Apples have high food value. While usually applied to humans, the saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” might be true for dogs, as well. Dogs seem to prefer the sweeter varieties—reds or goldens such as Gala, Honeycrisp and Fuji—to the green or more tart types such as Granny Smith or Gravenstein.
Benefits
•Nutritious. A super-healthy treat, apples are both affordable and low in calories. They are low in protein and fat as well, so especially good for senior dogs.
•Good for teeth. Apples contain malic acid, which aids in keeping your dog’s teeth clean and breath fresh.
