About LADY APPLE

The Lady Apple (Malus pumila), also known as the Christmas Apple or Pomme d'Api, is a small variety of apple known for its sweet-tart flavor and is often found in grocery stores and farmers' markets. Regarding pets, such as cats and dogs, Lady Apples are generally considered safe when given in small quantities. However, it's important to remove the seeds before feeding them to pets, as apple seeds contain cyanogenic glycosides, which can release cyanide and be toxic to cats and dogs if ingested in large amounts. Always consult a veterinarian before introducing new foods to your pet's diet.
