Dogs don't need apples as part of their daily diet, but they are a relatively healthy treat as long as you make sure to remove the seeds. So you can give him a piece of apple every day if you want to - I would not expect this to cause any problems.

    Apples are safe to give to dogs, although I would make sure she chews and doesn’t eat an apple whole. Technically the seeds contain cyanide but this isn’t a concern unless the seeds are ground. Apples do have calories so you should make sure that treats do not make up more than 10% of her diet.
