How much and how to prepare
Keep it to small, occasional amounts, served plain. Remove any pits, seeds, cores, skins, bones, shells or added seasoning first, and introduce it gradually.
Who should avoid it
Puppies, seniors, small breeds and dogs with health conditions should have only tiny amounts, or skip it. When unsure, check with your vet.
