Is Pineapple Safe For Dogs?
Yes, pineapple is safe for dogs in moderation! It’s a great source of vitamins C and B6, as well as fiber and antioxidants. However, because pineapple is high in natural sugar, too much can lead to digestive upset or even contribute to weight gain.
When to Avoid Giving Pineapple
🚫 If your dog has diabetes or is overweight, pineapple’s high sugar content may not be the best option.
🚫 If your dog has a sensitive stomach, start with a tiny piece to see how they react.
Can Dogs Eat Pineapple Popsicles?
Dogs can eat pineapple popsicles as long as they are made with dog-safe ingredients and no added sugars, artificial sweeteners (especially xylitol), or dairy that could upset their stomachs.
Ingredients
Just 2 ingredients make these refreshing frozen dog treats. We use strips of red pepper for the popsicle sticks, but this is entirely optional.
- Pineapple – Pineapple is a nutrient-rich fruit that provides dogs with vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants. It helps support the immune system, aids digestion, and adds a natural sweetness to treats. Always use fresh or frozen pineapple—avoid canned pineapple, as it often contains added sugars and syrups. Be sure to remove the tough core and spiky skin to prevent choking hazards or digestive issues.
- Greek Yogurt – Plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt is an excellent source of protein, calcium, and probiotics, which can promote gut health and digestion. It also adds a creamy texture to frozen treats. However, it’s important to check that the yogurt does not contain xylitol (a toxic artificial sweetener) and to ensure your dog tolerates dairy before feeding. If your dog is lactose intolerant, consider using lactose-free yogurt or coconut yogurt as an alternative.
- Red Pepper Strips – Adds color and vitamins for the pupsicles as well as being edible! Plus I don’t trust 2 of my dogs with any wooden or plastic ice cream sticks!
How To Make Pineapple Pupsicles
It’s as simple as processing the two ingredients in a blender and freezing the mixture. I poured mine into a popsicle container and have also used small paper espresso cups, but you could also use ice cube trays for a smaller treat.
Blend pineapple and Greek yogurt.
Pour into frozen containers.
Add edible popsicle stick (optional) and freeze.
Remove from containers and give as a treat.
Storage
Once your pineapple dog treats are fully frozen, transfer them into an airtight container or a freezer-safe ziplock bag. This helps prevent freezer burn and keeps them fresh longer.
Frozen dog treats can last for up to 1-2 months in the freezer. Just make sure to keep them at a consistent, cold temperature. For best quality, try to use them within a month.
