Why Pineapple Is Fine for Dogs
Sweet, juicy, and full of vitamin C and bromelain. Fresh pineapple is a fine occasional treat in small chunks.
As with any human food, pineapple works best as a treat rather than a meal. Treats of all kinds should stay under about 10% of your dog’s daily calories.
How to Serve Pineapple Safely
Remove the spiky skin and tough core; offer a few small chunks. Skip canned pineapple in syrup, which is too sugary.
What If Your Dog Ate a Lot of Pineapple?
No need to worry — pineapple is safe for dogs. A big helping might cause mild stomach upset, so keep an eye on them, offer fresh water, and scale back the treats for the day.
