Can I Feed My Dog Apple Seeds?

Why Indian pet parents ask this

Apple Seeds is common in Indian homes, and many dogs wait near the kitchen hoping for a bite. The important question is not only whether a food is popular at home, but whether it is plain, fresh, digestible, and free from onion, garlic, chilli, excess salt, excess fat, bones, seeds, pits, or unsafe sweeteners.

How to serve it safely

Remove the apple core and all seeds before sharing a small piece of apple.

How much is enough?

The safe portion is apple flesh only. Apple seeds should be zero. As a general feeding rule, treats and extras should remain a small part of your dog's daily calories. The main diet should still be complete and balanced.

When to avoid it

If your dog ate a few seeds accidentally, do not panic, but call your vet if there was a large amount, chewing of many cores, vomiting, weakness, or unusual behaviour.

Dogsvilla Tip

When in doubt, do not share from your plate. Keep a separate plain dog-safe portion before adding Indian tadka, salt, chilli, masala, sauce, or gravy.
