Fine as a treat
Can dogs eat pineapple?
Fresh pineapple flesh is safe in small amounts. Skip the skin and the tough core.
How to prepare it
Fresh, peeled, cored, cut small. Tinned pineapple in syrup is too sugary.
Never in this form
The spiny skin and the woody core, both obstruction risks.
Portion
About 50 kcal per 100 g. High in sugar and acidic, so a few small pieces.
