That's why I love my yummy and good-for-you foods like crispy and sweet apples! Keep scrolling, my friends, and I'll tell you all about these amazing fruits that help keep us strong and vibrant. Let's keep those tails wagging and our bodies feeling fantastic!"
Wag-Worthy Apples!
Apples are a fantastic treat enjoyed by both humans and their furry friends! Their satisfying crunch and sweet flavour make them a popular choice for many pooches. They are a wonderful source of vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, beneficial antioxidants and dietary fibre. Also, they are low in protein and fat, making them the perfect snack for senior pups!
Can Apples Fight Dog Cancer?
Apples contain compounds that have shown promising antiangiogenic properties in laboratory studies. Antiangiogenesis is the process of stopping new blood vessels from forming, which is crucial for tumour growth. Some research in laboratory settings suggests that components in apples may interfere with these blood vessel development processes and impact cancer cells.
Great things apples can do for your Pup!
Supporting healthy joints and bones: The vitamin C in apples aids in the production of collagen, a crucial protein for the connective tissues in your dog's joints and bones. It also helps prevent scurvy, a vitamin C deficiency that can lead to problems like bleeding gums and joint pain.
Fighting those free radicals: The antioxidants present in apples help protect your dog's cells from damage caused by free radicals. This protection can help reduce inflammation and may play a role in preventing cancer and the signs of aging.
Helping to keep teeth clean and breath fresh: The act of chewing on apple pieces can help to gently remove plaque and tartar buildup on your dog's teeth and gums, contributing to better oral hygiene and fresher breath.
Something else you need to know about apples!
Always remove the seeds and the core before giving apples to your dog.
While apples are a great treat for your pooch, it's important to know that not all parts are safe. Apple seeds contain a small amount of cyanide, which could be harmful if your pooch eats a lot of them. Also, the core can be a choking risk or even cause a blockage in their tummy if swallowed whole.
It's always best to give your doggy apple slices or small cubes – they're a tasty and safe snack on their own or mixed into their food.
Can even give them dried apple slices for a satisfying crunch! Just remember to always remove the seeds and the core first.
