Apple and Kale for Dogs: What to Know
Apples and kale are common ingredients in dog treats, and both can be fed safely when prepared the right way. Here is what to know before adding them to your dog's routine.
Apples
Apples provide fiber and natural sweetness. Remove the core and seeds before sharing a slice, and serve it plain with no added sugar or spices.
Kale
Kale is a leafy green that contains vitamins and minerals. Feed it in small amounts, cooked or finely chopped, because large amounts of raw leafy greens can upset some dogs' stomachs.
Safe serving tips
- Introduce any new food slowly and in small amounts.
- Skip sweetened, spiced, or seasoned versions meant for people.
- Keep treats to a small share of your dog's daily calories, and ask your vet what that means for your dog.
Apple & Kale Delight
Our Apple & Kale Delight treats are baked in small batches in Texas with real apple and kale. Like all of our recipes, they also contain organic brown rice, eggs, and organic peanut butter, so check the full ingredient list on the product page if your dog has a food allergy. At about 16 calories per treat, they work well as a training reward.
Which dogs should skip them?
Dogs with known allergies to eggs, peanuts, or any listed ingredient should not eat them. If your dog has a medical condition or a prescribed diet, ask your vet before adding treats.
