Dog-friendly birthday cake

Dog’s birthday coming up? Never fear! We have a dog-friendly vet-approved cake recipe that means your pet can enjoy celebrating their birthday just as much as we do.

Important:

  • Carefully check the ingredients below and do not feed if your dog is allergic to any of them
  • Some peanut butter brands contain artificial sweeteners such as xylitol, which is toxic to dogs. Only use peanut butter that is xylitol-free.
  • When feeding your dog any new food that is not a part of their usual diet, there is a risk of an upset stomach
  • Feed in moderation. Depending on the size of your dog, you may wish to feed a smaller dinner portion after giving them birthday cake to keep your dog at a healthy weight. Check more information from this pet health wiki.
  • If worried, speak with your vet before feeding your dog cake
