Offer only tiny ripe plain flesh portions. Avoid rind, core, syrup-packed, and dried sweetened products. Rind and core are too tough and can cause chewing or swallowing problems.
Pineapple is a tropical fruit with spiky skin, fibrous core, and sweet-tart yellow flesh, eaten fresh, grilled, or blended into drinks. Provides water and vitamin C with natural sugars.
Sold whole, pre-cut, canned, dried, and juiced. Canned and dried pineapple are much more sugar-dense than fresh chunks.
Grilled and fruit-topping preparations may include sugar, salt, or spicy glazes that are less pet-friendly than plain fresh fruit.
