Can Labradors Eat Apples?

The short answer: yes, Labradors can eat apples — and most of them love them. Apples are a low-calorie, crunchy treat that provides a small amount of vitamin C and dietary fibre.

How to Serve Apples Safely

How Much Is Safe?

A few slices a day is plenty for an adult Lab. Too much fruit can cause loose stools due to the sugar and fibre content. For puppies, stick to one or two small pieces.

Can They Eat Apple Skin?

Yes — apple skin is safe and contains most of the fibre. Just wash thoroughly if the apple may have been treated with pesticides.
