Shadows Mom Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 The Eww: Shadow got some apple peels the other night, and we came home to a poop covered dog. 45 minutes in the tub to clean her up! Will this happen with apples? She LOVES them, but this was the first time getting the peel too.. and YUCK! The Woo: Other than the apple peel incident shes been "regular" I took your guys' advice and started feeding her less, and now shes just right! 2 poos a day instead of 7 or 8. Thanks SO much!!!! She eats 1-1.5 cups of Canidae a day now and is sooo much happier, no more soft poo and no more pottying every 2 hours. Shadow gives you guys 4 paws up!

Tiga's_mom Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Tiga eats apples peel and all sometimes. The vet said they were ok to give to him. He loves all kinds of fruits and vegetables. Carrotts and brocollie stems are his favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth G Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 My two both love to eat crab apples that fall off of the tree in the fall and have never had a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyler Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 My two both love to eat crab apples that fall off of the tree in the fall and have never had a problem. Crab Apples? You mean those big green softball sized wrinkly things? I was always told those were poisonous. Please correct me if Im wrong or have the wrong thing in mind.

OffTopic Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 If I'm not mistaken, apple cores contain cyanide. Or the seeds do. The skin and flesh are safe, but you might want to keep them from eating the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiga's_mom Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I've heard that about a lot of fruit seeds. Tiga doesn't get the core. I just cut off pieces and give it to him like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadows Mom Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Seeds and cores usually have arsenic (its what gives them the almond flavor). I don't give her the core, but the % arsenic in t shouldn't be enough to harm a dog.. or a mouse hehe. She just gets the flesh. Also been giving her carrots, green beans, and cucumber she LOVES it!

juliepoudrier Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Skyler, I think you're confusing a crab apple with an Osage orange. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
