Freeze-Dried Tropical Glow Blend Treats for Dogs & Cats - Natural Skin & Coat Support with Bromelain
100% Apple, Pineapple, Mango
What’s In It
PINEAPPLE - BROMELAIN ENZYME & COLLAGEN SUPPORT
Pineapple is the cornerstone of this blend. It contains bromelain — a natural proteolytic enzyme with documented anti-inflammatory properties that reduce skin irritation, support collagen synthesis, and help maintain a healthy skin barrier in dogs and cats. Bromelain is heat-sensitive and only preserved through freeze-drying at -60°C, making this one of the only shelf-stable pet treats that delivers biologically active bromelain. Pineapple also provides Vitamin C, which works synergistically with bromelain to directly support collagen production.
MANGO - BETA-CAROTENE & VITAMIN A SKIN SUPPORT
Mango is the richest beta-carotene source among common pet-safe fruits. Beta-carotene converts to Vitamin A — the primary nutrient responsible for maintaining healthy epithelial cells (the cells that form skin and coat). Vitamin A deficiency is a leading contributor to dull coats, dry and flaky skin, and increased skin infection risk in dogs and cats. Each bite of freeze-dried mango delivers concentrated beta-carotene alongside Vitamin C and folate for comprehensive skin micronutrient coverage.
APPLE - VITAMIN E & ANTIOXIDANT COAT HEALTH
Apple delivers Vitamin E — a fat-soluble antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals responsible for oxidative skin cell damage, premature coat dullness, and inflammatory skin conditions. Apple also contributes soluble fibre that supports the gut microbiome, which is increasingly linked to reduced inflammatory skin conditions in pets. Alongside Vitamins A and C from mango and pineapple, apple's Vitamin E completes a full A–C–E antioxidant skin and coat protection profile in a single treat.
FREEZE DRIED AT -60°C - BROMELAIN STAYS ACTIVE
Bromelain is destroyed by heat above 60°C — standard dehydration (140–165°F) and baking both render it inactive. Our -60°C Cold-Lock freeze-drying is the only method that preserves bromelain's biological activity alongside beta-carotene, Vitamin A, C, and E at up to 97% of original levels. All three fruits are freeze-dried separately at peak ripeness before being combined. Produced in small, hand-sorted batches with no additives, no added sugar, and resealable packaging.

FAQ
-
Bromelain is a natural proteolytic (protein-digesting) enzyme found exclusively in pineapple that has documented anti-inflammatory properties. In pets, it reduces systemic inflammation that manifests as dry, flaky, or irritated skin — and supports collagen synthesis, the structural protein responsible for skin elasticity and integrity. Bromelain is heat-sensitive and begins to lose biological activity above 60°C, which means dehydrated or baked pineapple treats contain no active bromelain. Only freeze-drying at -60°C preserves bromelain in a shelf-stable treat. This is why the Skin & Coat Blend specifically uses freeze-dried pineapple as the lead ingredient.
-
Fish oil supplements deliver omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which reduce inflammation through a lipid-based pathway. The Skin & Coat Blend works through a complementary but distinct mechanism — bromelain's enzymatic anti-inflammation, Vitamin A's direct role in epithelial cell renewal, and Vitamin E's antioxidant skin cell protection. These are different nutrient classes working at different points in the skin health process. The blend can be used alongside fish oil for broader skin and coat support, or as a fish-free, vegan alternative for pets with fish allergies or intolerances.

- The Skin & Coat Blend contains three freeze-dried fruits selected specifically for their skin and coat nutrients: pineapple (for active bromelain enzyme — anti-inflammatory and collagen-supporting), mango (for beta-carotene which converts to Vitamin A — the primary nutrient for skin barrier integrity and epithelial cell health), and apple (for Vitamin E — an antioxidant that protects skin cells from oxidative damage and supports a glossy coat). Together they deliver a complete Vitamin A, C, and E antioxidant profile alongside bromelain's direct anti-inflammatory action - a combination no single-ingredient treat can replicate.
-
Yes. Pineapple flesh is safe for both dogs and cats in moderate quantities. The skin and core are removed during processing (which also removes the highest concentration of bromelain — the flesh contains the therapeutically relevant amount). Pineapple is not on any veterinary toxic fruit list for dogs or cats, unlike grapes, raisins, or citrus. Pets Gone Wild freeze-dried pineapple treats contain only the flesh, with no added sugar, salt, or artificial ingredients. Introduce gradually over 3–5 days, as with any new food.
-
Yes — pineapple's bromelain enzyme directly targets one of the root causes of dry and itchy skin in dogs: systemic inflammation. By reducing inflammatory cytokine activity, bromelain can help alleviate the inflammatory skin responses that present as itching, redness, dry patches, and flaking. Combined with the skin-barrier-supporting Vitamin A from mango and the free-radical-neutralizing Vitamin E from apple, the Skin & Coat Blend provides multi-pathway support for dogs and cats with chronic dry or irritated skin. For pets with diagnosed allergic dermatitis or atopic conditions, always consult a vet before introducing new dietary supplements.
