Before feeding them, be sure they are peeled and sliced into small, bite-sized portions.

Pineapples are chock-full of nutrients but they are also high in sugar, which <b>can be harmful and cause serious gastrointestinal (GI) upset. Pet parents should also be aware that there are some parts of the fruit that can be very bad for dogs.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_pineapple_can_a_dog_eat_a_day\"><\/span>How much pineapple can a dog eat a day?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Remember that no more than ten percent of your dog&#8217;s calories should come from anything other than their regular dog food.

Yes, dogs can safely eat a small amount of pineapple. Pineapple even works as a poop-eating deterrent because <b>it makes poop smell bad. The enzymes in pineapple are thought to change the way a dog&#8217;s poop smells and tastes, making it unappetizing.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_dogs_have_small_amounts_of_pineapple\"><\/span>Can dogs have small amounts of pineapple?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Yes, you can give your dog small pineapple chunks. But as with most human foods, there are some precautions to consider. To be safe, small dogs should eat pineapple in small quantities as compared to a large dog that can tolerate larger amounts. Another consideration is quantity.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_dogs_eat_a_little_bit_of_pineapple\"><\/span>Can dogs eat a little bit of pineapple?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes. <b>Raw pineapple, in small amounts, is an excellent snack for dogs. Canned pineapple, on the other hand, should be avoided.
