How many apples will kill a dog?

Will my dog die if he eats apples?
However, the core of the apple and the apple seeds especially can be harmful to dogs. Apple seeds contain a small amount of cyanide which is released when they're broken or chewed. Just swallowing a few apple pips is unlikely to cause your dog any harm, but it's best to remove them and avoid the risk.
Are apples poisonous to dogs?
