I give Niko, my spoiled yellow lab, almost anything except for onions, grapes, and chocolates. When I give fruits and veggies, I give in moderation and stick to those with plenty of vitamins, enzymes, and etc... like blueberries, strawberries, papayas, pineapples, brocolli, green beans, apples, red bell peppers, cantaloupes, carrots, and etc.
With apple slices, I don't give him the seeds. Papayas, pineapples, and blueberries are the three fruits I like give my lab (and myself). I grew up eating a lot of papayas and pineapples and my mom used to feed them to me and told me that it was good for digestion. Now that I am older, I am realizing that my mom was right........ papayas and pineapples have a lot of digestive enzymes.
P.S. - I have given my lab a frozen apple. I took the apple core out (to remove the seeds), then I put Laura Scudder's peanut butter inside the apple and then freeze it for a couple of hours. Laura Scudder's peanut butter is very plain and no salt added (for myself, I personally prefer Jiff......haha...but for my dog, I got him Laura Scudder's one because it has no preservative and no salt added).
