Ingredients and Their Part in the Treats

This fruity cookie for dogs is made with only 4 simple ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Fresh Pineapple: The star of the treats!
  • Egg: Adds protein and is a binder for the dough.
  • Coconut Oil: Adds healthy fats.
  • Oat Flour: A gentle, gluten-free flour that’s easy on digestion.

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

When making homemade dog treats, it’s important to use safe and dog-friendly ingredients:

  • You can use canned pineapple if it’s packed in water or 100% juice with no added sugar or syrups.
  • Make your own oat flour by blending old-fashioned rolled oats in a food processor or blender.
  • You can substitute oat flour with brown rice flour (make it by blending uncooked rice).
  • If your dog isn’t sensitive to grains, use all-purpose flour or a 50/50 mix of all-purpose and whole wheat. Adjust the amount if the dough feels too dry or too sticky because these flours behave differently than oat flour.

Equipment Needed

You likely have most of the kitchen items you need to make the treats. You can use any cookie cutter of your choice, but cookie cutters for dog treats give them a fun look.

How To Make Pineapple Dog Treats

Here’s how to make these baked dog treats with fresh pineapple from scratch:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Puree chopped fresh pineapple in a blender or food processor.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the pineapple puree, melted coconut oil, and egg.
  4. Add the oat flour and mix until a dough forms.
  5. Roll the dough out on a floured surface.
  6. Cut out shapes using your favorite cookie cutter. Re-roll and cut scraps as needed.
  7. Place the cutouts on the lined baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the edges are set and the bottoms are lightly golden.
  9. Let the treats cool completely on the baking sheet or on a wire rack.

How to Store the Treats and How Long They Last

Store the treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Fresh pineapple can lead to mold quickly, so it’s best to freeze most of the batch and take out only what your dog will eat in a few days. Serve frozen for a refreshing treat or thaw overnight in the fridge.

Can Humans Eat These Pineapple Dog Treats?

Yes! All of the ingredients are safe for humans. These cookies are lightly sweet and naturally fruity. Give one a try, especially if you’re into low-sugar or dairy-free treats!

Serving Size

Treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily calorie intake. If your dog hasn’t had pineapple before, start with a small piece and monitor for any signs of sensitivity. Always consult your vet if you’re unsure about introducing a new food.

Benefits of Pineapple for Dogs

Pineapple is more than just a tropical snack, it’s beneficial for dogs:

  • Vitamin C and B6: Support immune health and brain function.
  • Manganese: Supports bone strength and metabolism.
  • Dietary fiber: Helps regulate digestion and supports gut health.
  • Bromelain: This enzyme helps break down protein, supports digestion, and may reduce inflammation for dogs on high-protein diets or with joint pain.

Pineapple for Dogs Who Eat Poop

Some dog owners swear by pineapple as a natural remedy for coprophagia (poop eating). The theory is that pineapple changes the taste of your dog’s stool, making it unappealing. Adding fresh pineapple or treats made with pineapple may help curb this behavior.

Some dogs respond better to fresh pineapple, while others may still benefit from the cooked pineapple in these treats. You can learn more in my full article on why dogs eat poop and how to stop it.
