Can dogs eat pineapple?
Dogs cannot eat pineapple. It contains special enzymes. This enzyme can damage the dog's gastric mucosa. When the mucosa becomes thinner, other substances will be absorbed by the blood, causing abnormal internal environment and disrupting regulatory functions, leading to diarrhea, etc. symptom. In order to prevent dogs from developing allergies, do not feed pineapple to dogs.

Furthermore, pineapple is a relatively acidic fruit. When animals consume acidic food, it may cause ion imbalance in the upper gastrointestinal tract, pH imbalance, peristalsis frequency imbalance and other problems.
