Great news for apple-chomping dogs, an apple makes a great treat for any pooch. It is packed full of Vitamin A and Vitamin C, meaning that an apple is great for your dog\u2019s immune system and general health. What\u2019s more, an apple is a great source of fibre so it will do your dog\u2019s digestive system a world of good too.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A couple of things to remember<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the same way that few humans enjoy eating the core and pips of an apple, they\u2019re not good for dogs either, so be sure to remove these with an apple corer or a knife. It&#8217;s a good idea to peel the apple as well to make it easier to digest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, and remember to take that little sticker off as well &#8211; as any human who has mistakenly bitten into one of those will tell you, it\u2019s definitely not a tasty part of the fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find your dog needs a bit more fibre in their diet, why not take a look at our<a href=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/gb\/health\/sensitive-stomach-dog-food\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> food for dogs with sensitive stomachs<\/a> which is great for any four legged friend whose tummy has been a bit upset, or needs a more delicate meal plan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is there anything like the satisfying crunch of an apple?
