Safe amount

A few small chunks now and then, as a treat. Keep treats to a small share of your dog's daily food.

How to prepare it

Fresh flesh only, cut into small pieces. No skin, no core, no canned pineapple in syrup.

Risks

Pineapple is high in sugar and acid, which can upset the stomach or loosen stools if too much is eaten. The skin and core are tough and can cause a blockage.
