are dogs allowed pineapple

Yes, dogs are allowed to eat pineapple, but it should be given in moderation. Fresh pineapple is safe and can be a healthy treat for dogs as it is rich in vitamins such as B-complex and C, and contains minerals like potassium, magnesium, iron, and zinc. Pineapple can help support the immune system and digestive health. However, only the soft inner fruit should be fed to dogs; the spiny outer skin and tough core should be avoided as they can cause intestinal blockages. While pineapple is nutritious, it has a high sugar content and fiber, which in large amounts can cause digestive upset including diarrhea or constipation. Dogs with sensitive stomachs or those prone to diabetes should be given pineapple cautiously or avoided. Canned pineapple and dried pineapple are not recommended due to added sugars. To safely feed pineapple to a dog, peel and core it, cut into bite-size pieces, and give only small amounts occasionally, ensuring it does not exceed 10% of their daily caloric intake.
