  Core is not recommended; remove seeds and core before feeding apple.

Apple core is not the part pets should be eating. Even when the apple flesh itself is acceptable, the core adds unnecessary choking and obstruction risk and often still contains seeds.

For most readers, the practical answer is simple: remove the core completely before serving apple. There is no real benefit to leaving it in, and it makes the fruit less safe to feed.

Preparation guidance

• Core the apple before slicing it.
• Check for leftover seeds in the center.
• Serve only the usable seed-free pieces.

If apple is going to be fed, the core should be discarded.
