Small treatGenerally suitable when plain and properly prepared

Why it matters

VCA veterinary nutrition includes apple among whole-food treats that cats may try in very small amounts.

How to serve it

Wash it and remove the stem, core and every seed. Cut the flesh into a piece small enough to prevent choking.
