* Choking Hazard: Apples contain a core and seeds, which are a choking hazard for puppies.
* Digestive Issues: The high sugar content in apples can upset a puppy's sensitive digestive system, leading to diarrhea or vomiting.
* Allergic Reactions: Some dogs are allergic to apples, which can cause skin irritation, itching, or digestive problems.
* Nutritional Needs: Puppies need a balanced diet specifically formulated for their growth and development. Apples don't provide the necessary nutrients for puppies.
Instead of apples, focus on a diet of high-quality puppy food that meets their nutritional requirements. If you're unsure about what to feed your puppy, consult with your veterinarian.
Treats should be given in moderation and should be specifically designed for puppies. There are many safe and healthy puppy treats available.
