Some fruits are safe for dogs as long as the recommended serving size is not exceeded.

Apples (1-2 slices). Rich in fiber and protein, this fruit is high in vitamins A and C. Do not give your dog the pith and seeds as they may contain arsenic.

For small breeds - half a fruit per day 2 times a week; medium-sized dogs - 1 piece at the same frequency or a little more often; large breeds - 2 apples a day twice a week; if the pet is large (from 50 kilograms), then it can be consumed 2 pieces three times a week.

Can dogs eat pears

Certainly. We treat pears the same way we treat apples. Pears are a great source of nutrients, but portions should be small and the seeds, cuttings, and core should be removed.

A large pet can be given half a medium green apple, peeled, but a small one will only need a couple of slices. Pears can be given to dogs, but preferably not juicy or sweet varieties.
