Can dogs eat pineapple?
Why
Raw pineapple is packed with vitamin C, several B vitamins, and minerals such as manganese, copper, and potassium, making it a nutritious occasional snack. It should be peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces, since the tough central core and spiny skin can cause obstructions. Canned pineapple should be avoided because the syrup contains too much sugar for most dogs.
How much is safe
A few small chunks of peeled, cored, raw pineapple flesh as an occasional treat; avoid canned pineapple in syrup.
