• The enzyme bromelain contained in the pineapple, for example, splits proteins and thus ensures better digestion.
• The pineapple also supports the slim line in dogs. The fruit also stimulates the metabolism.
• That all reads quite positively, but the pineapple can also be toxic to dogs. This is the case when the fruit is not yet ripe. Therefore: Dogs can only get ripe pineapples.
• The pineapple also contains a high proportion of fruit acids. Too much fruit acid is not good for the dog's stomach and health.
• Therefore: Yes, you can only give your dog small pieces of pineapple if he likes them.
