Can dogs eat Pineapple (raw)?
Pineapple (raw)（パイナップル）
Safe to feed
A fruit high in manganese and carrying bromelain, a protein-digesting enzyme.
High carb
54 kcal per 100 g
What kind of food is this?
Per 100g: 54kcal, with 1.33mg manganese—especially high even among fruits.
Manganese is a mineral involved in converting nutrients into energy and in the enzymes that build bone and connective tissue.
Another distinctive feature is bromelain, a protein-digesting enzyme, also known for tenderizing meat.
How to serve
Remove the skin and core and use only the flesh. Both are hard, and if swallowed can block or injure the throat or intestines. Irritation from bromelain can make some dogs paw at their mouth after eating it. The first time, start with a small amount and watch for a reaction. Canned pineapple in syrup has added sugar, so use fresh flesh.

In food-energetics terms
In food therapy, this is classified as 'cooling.' It is said to gently cool the body and is often chosen when the body is holding excess heat.
(Food energetics is a long-standing idea of supporting the body through everyday meals. Treat it as one extra hint alongside the nutrition numbers.)
