substance: Fibre, vitamin A and C, cyanogenic glycosides (seeds)

categories:

# Description

Apples can be a healthy treat for pets in moderation. The flesh of the apple is safe and even nutritious for both dogs and cats, providing vitamins A and C, fiber, and hydration. However, seeds contain small amounts of cyanogenic glycosides, which can release cyanide when chewed or ingested in large quantities, so it’s best to remove the core and seeds before offering apples to your pet.

# How it works

Source of fiber and vitamins A and C if served in moderation.

# Symptoms

No symptoms should occur if not overfed and served without seeds. Overeating apples may lead to digestive upset, including diarrhea or stomach discomfort, but cyanide toxicity is unlikely.

# Treatment

No treatment needed.

# Prognosis

No intervention needed.
