All pets love getting treats, but making them work for them is such a fun way to give them both physical and mental stimulation, especially with winter weather coming and everyone ends up stuck indoors. TikToker @chihuahua.dk recently shared a video of a tiny Chihuahua bobbing for apples, and it might be the cutest thing you’ll see today.
Watch as this determined little pup tries to figure out the best way to snag those apples without actually climbing into the bowl. It doesn’t take long before they’ve completely mastered the game, and by the end of the clip, they’re basically a bobbing-for-apples champion!
OK, this is just too cute, and I can’t wait to watch my dog do this! It will be much messier, though, as I have a Pit Bull, and she’d stick her entire head in the bowl while at the same time splashing all of the water out of it to try to get those apples out!

Commenter Reactions to the Chihuahua Bobbing for Apples
Commenters were smitten with all the cuteness and had a lot to say about the video. @Pepii pointed out, “Apple head Chihuahua bobbing for apples. My heart!” @Cana Lost agreed, “Oh to be a skrinkly little toasted chiwawa bobbing for apple slices…”
@thatoneseason shared, “My Chihuahua would just stare at me until I hand-fed her the apples, she’s so stubborn and spoiled LOL!”
Viewer @Honey Raven cautioned, “Just a heads up, it won’t do any damage to them, but dogs can’t digest apple skin very well, so they might get an upset tummy afterward! Some dogs are more sensitive to it than others. My Yorkie could eat apples with no problem, but my brother’s German shepherd had the worst poops!”
In a recent article, PetMD shared, “Yes, apple skin is safe for most dogs, and it adds some extra fiber. But if your dog has a sensitive stomach, you may want to peel the apple.” The article goes on to explain that all apple varieties are safe for pups, but you should always remove the seeds and core, as the seeds contain trace amounts of cyanide, which can be toxic in large quantities, and the core can present a choking hazard. To be on the safe side, might as well just take the skin off, too!
