Unripe pineapples are poisonous to dogs
The degree of ripeness of a pineapple determines its digestibility. The fruits are often picked immature in their home countries so that they can survive the long journey. Of course, pineapples are not considered to be a ripening fruit. If you come across such a specimen, it is not recommended for you or your four-legged friend to consume. Unripe pineapples have a strong laxative effect and cause severe cramps.
