How do you prepare apple strudel?
There are various recipes for apple strudel, but the basic ingredients are usually flour, water, oil or butter, salt and lemon juice for the dough and apples, raisins or other dried fruit, cinnamon and sugar for the filling.

What are the disadvantages of apple strudel for dogs?
Apple strudel contains some ingredients that can be harmful to dogs. Sugar is generally unhealthy for dogs, as it can lead to obesity, dental problems and diabetes. Butter or oil are also high in calories and can contribute to obesity or cardiovascular disease. Salt can increase blood pressure and lead to dehydration. Lemon juice can increase the acidity in the stomach and lead to stomach problems.
However, the biggest danger for dogs is raisins. Raisins are dried grapes that are poisonous to dogs. They can lead to kidney failure or even death.
