Treat Tips
When making homemade apple dog treats, always use plain applesauce without added sugar or artificial sweeteners, especially no xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
Whip up a batch or two, store them in the fridge or freezer, and enjoy the satisfaction of knowing exactly what’s in your dog’s snacks. Your dog will thank you with happy tail wags!
While apples are safe for dogs (just don’t feed them the core or seeds), it’s always best to check with your vet before giving your dog any new foods. Especially if they have known allergies or health conditions.
Final Thoughts
Apples (and applesauce) are a fantastic addition to many homemade dog treats. Just remember to store your treats properly to keep them fresh. Most baked treats will last up to a week in an airtight container in the fridge, while frozen treats can be stored for up to 3 months in the freezer. Always check for freshness before serving.
