is it ok that my dog eats apples?

Your dog sounds like my baby, he will eat ALMOST everything and anything I give him, or that falls on the floor when I'm cooking. Below are some do's and some dont's:Chocolate: I hear this mentioned most often when discussing what to keep dogs away from, but how many of us know exactly why? Two stimulant chemicals- caffeine and theobromine- negatively affect nervous systems. Noticeable effects are hyperactivity, excessive panting and/or urination, and muscle twitches, accompanied by increases in heart rate and blood pressure. The higher the cocoa content, the more severe the effects (darker chocolate is more dangerous than white or milk chocolate); but all chocolate should be avoided. I recently met someone whose dog- small to medium size range- died after getting into a couple chocolate bars.Coffee: For the same reason as chocolate- caffeine- coffee can be deadly. This applies to anything else with caffeine content, like black tea.Onions (whole, powdered or cooked): Onions contain thiosulphate, which is toxic to dogs. Thiosulphate can cause Heinz Body anemia in dogs- essentially leading to the breakdown of red blood cells while circulating in the body. The first symptoms to look for are vomiting and diarrhea as well as a lack of appetite. Signs of poisoning may start up to a few DAYS after the dog has consumed onion. Poisoning can occur after ingesting a single large amount of onion or repeated small amounts of the food. Garlic also contains the chemical, although not as much, and should also be avoided. The condition will improve once consumption ceases.Mushrooms: Some species of mushrooms are toxic, and may cause shock/death. Less severe symptoms are vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. It’s easy enough to not feed your dog mushrooms from your kitchen, but be aware of mushrooms that sprout naturally in your yard or any other green area. Call your vet, or go directly to an emergency clinic.Raisins and Grapes: While these foods are good for you, they are not healthy for your dog! There is an unknown toxin that has has caused renal (kidney) failure when dogs consume amounts as little as 1 ounce of fruit per 2.2 lbs of body weight. If your dog has ingested raisins/grapes and is acting lethargic or having signs of abdominal pain, induce vomiting and seek veterinary attention as soon as possible!Apples, Apricots, Cherries, Peaches and Plum: Who knew so much good fruit was bad for your dog? The seeds of these fruits contain a type of cyanide compound- not poisonous to us, but toxic to our dogs. Symptoms include: dilated pupils, hyperventilation, difficulty breathing, and shock.Unbaked Bread Dough: Dogs find the strangest things palatable! If your dog consumes raw bread dough, a call to your vet is needed. The yeast in the dough that enables rising can also produce gas in your dog's digestive tract, leading to pain and the possible rupture of the stomach or intestines. In addition, yeast fermentation, which causes dough to rise, also produces alcohol (more below).Alcohol: Alcohol is a poison, though not (always) a deadly one to humans. It is, however, far more dangerous for dogs. Small amounts of alcohol can be enough to kill a small dog. While I hope you know not to give your dog alcohol, I've seen too many people who think it would be amusing to give their dog a little beer. Please don't- remember that dogs are far more sensitive to this substance than you are.Macadamia Nut: While these nuts are not deadly, they are toxic and cause a number of physical issues: digestive upset, vomiting, lethargy, tremors and stiffness. After initial consumption, a dog’s system will naturally get these nuts out, and symptoms will taper off.Nutmeg: This common spice affects a dog’s central nervous system, and may cause tremors, seizures and- in higher quantities- death.Chicken Bones: While not toxic, chicken bones or splinters from bones may get lodged in various places in a dog’s digestive system and can result in death. Thoroughly cooked chicken bones, which are in some high quality canned foods, can be chewed and are safe. However, do not try to cook these yourself, stick to the pre-made ones.It’s a good idea to assume that anything unhealthy for you is also not healthy for your dog. Also remember that we’ve discussed common foods and reactions to them; there are other many substances that can cause any of these symptoms. When in doubt, always call a vet.There are lots of common foods that are delicious and safe treats for your dog! Some of them are:Raw carrotsBananasCanned pumpkin (no sugar added- it also aids in diarrhea and constipation!)RiceApples- when they’ve been cut and all seeds removed!WatermelonStrawberries

bad for there teeth, and dont let them chew on pine cones(super bad for there teeth)

No more grapes, but apples are just fine. Bannanas and carrots are also good for dogs. Also avoid onions and raisons.

Yes it is tottally fine just dnt feed it rasins and grapes!

apples are great for your dog, and my beagle eats one a day. Raw carrots, peas, most fruits and cucumbers are okay for them too, but steer clear of the grapes, chocolate, candy, chicken bones. Best to feed the dog a good diet of dog food and supplement it with fruit or veggies as treats. In the summer, its hard to get our dogs to eat anything that isn't in the garden. They live on the raspberries, carrots, corn, peas, pears, apples, cukes, and broccoli.

Sure, it's OK. They're not just healthy for humans. My dog eats onions, or anything else he sees me eating. But if I am eating chocolate, he's out of luck. He'll have to settle for carob, which tastes like choc., but is completely natural and safe for dogs.

Grapes and raisins are NOT safe, they cause kidney damage. The fruit from the apple is fine the leaves and roots are not.

i know that dogs are not supposed to eat pencils and led, and sometimes your dog can get very sick by eating something they find outside. especially nuts from trees. like, huckleberry nuts.

i feed my cousin's dog, Nickel, apples daily. i think he really enjoys them and seems to have no problem whatsoever. it depends i guess on the dog. nickel doesn't like grapes and will avoid them. if you notice that your dog doesn't like something, then don't feed him it. if you want to play safe then just feed him apples and nothing else.

apples are ok but please remove the core do a little research on grapes i hear they are not good for dogs ask your vet on what fruits and veggies are safe for your dog

Here is a link thst shows foods that are not good for dogs to eat.http://www.missouriscenicrivers.com/baddogfoods.html

Apples are OK but Not the apple Seeds, they contain arsenic and is poisonous. Also Avocado Seeds,they contain cyanide.

I've also heard that grapes are toxic for dogs, but we had a dog that loved them and they never made her sick. Fruits and veggies are generally safe (stay away from onions, though). Have you tried bananas? One of my dogs loves them.

It's totally ok, one of my dog's favorite foods is apples, some others include raspberries, pears, persimmons, and bananas. Don't worry about it.
