Is Fuji apple toxic to dogs?

Malus domestica 'Fuji'

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists fuji apple as mildly toxic to dogs — a chewing dog typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Apple seeds contain amygdalin, which releases cyanide on digestion. Fruit flesh is non-toxic and edible. The ASPCA lists Malus (crabapple) as toxic to dogs, cats, and horses due to cyanogenic seeds and stems — keep pets from ingesting seeds, leaves, or stems.

What to do if your dog ate fuji apple

  4. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice.
