Ask your vet about your own pet. This page is general information from the sources below.

Yes, dogs can have pineapple as an occasional treat. VCA lists pineapple as a good treat option, and the ASPCA says it is okay to share with pets. PDSA says to remove the skin. Fruit has a lot of sugar, so keep it small. Fresh, with the skin removed, cut into bite-sized pieces. PDSA says the tough skin has to come off before a dog gets any pineapple.

A job: Be the label reader. Before a grown-up shares any food with the dog, check this page, and ask a grown-up if the food is not on it.
