apples? are they bad for your boxer?

 

[Haileesmom]

anyone?

 

[Honeyec]

No, not in the least, but you may want to take out the seeds if you're going to give them every day.

I give mine apples in their kibble. Half an apple split between the 2 of them, no seeds....Samson isn't real fond of them, so sometimes he doesn't eat them, sometimes he does... He will spit the apples out and leave them on the floor, Angel finishes them off  :lol:

What about oranges?

 

[HannaBanana]

Oranges are fine in moderation but not in excess due to them being acidic

We give the dogs a couple pieces of apple.  But we always peel the skin off.  Is that necessary?

 

[sully]

Apples and peanut butter.  Half for me, half for the puppy

I give Lola an apple once or twice a week for a treat.  Peeled and cut up into pieces..no core or seeds...don't know if that's necessary or not, but it makes me feel better that she's not comping on an entire apple!  
I actually gave her a piece of my orange yesterday....she loved it and kept sniffing around for more...don't think I'd give her that too often though.

i think apple is o.k. it is what i used for training treats when sumya was younger...

 

[Haileesmom]

yay, thanks for the info.. hailee and i shared an apple yesterday peeled, and no seeds so i was just double checking, she absolutely loved it thanks again

 

[samsonsmom]

Awww, that's great...Glad she liked it   Try putting a bit of Peanut Butter on the slices, she will go nutz over that

Funny dogs......Sophie LOVED fruit, oranges and apples and pears were her favorites, Donner is not a fruity boy but loves, loves, loves his veggies, squash, pumpkin, broccoli  and carrots.

I actually just core mine and give them whole (skin and all); they love playing with them like a ball for a while before eating them.  It's a twofer - a toy and a treat!

Apples are just fine minus the seeds. Remember though, that any fruits and veggies are far more benificial for your dogs in a mushed up form. Their bodies do not break down the cell wall that fruits and veggies have so unless super almost over ripe or mashed up they will not gain all the nuitrients that could be available to them.
