Apple (no seeds or core) and pets
Apple (no seeds or core) is safe for dogs and safe for cats. Crunchy, low-calorie treats. Remove seeds — they contain cyanide compounds.
Not veterinary advice. If your pet has eaten something concerning — or shows vomiting, lethargy, tremors or seizures — call your veterinarian or a pet poison line immediately; waiting to see how it goes is the one thing that reliably makes it worse.
The reason
Crunchy, low-calorie treats. Remove seeds — they contain cyanide compounds.
