dog birthday cakes

Jan 25, 2022

We treat our dogs as part of our family, so why not celebrate their birthdays too? Surprise them with our peanut butter dog birthday cake.

It is the perfect treat for any occasion, whether that be a birthday, welcome home, national dog day, or just because your dog deserves it.

Our dog birthday cake recipe is simple and quick to make. It is important to check the ingredients below and do not feed if your dog is allergic to any of them.

While peanut butter is very good for your dog and most love it, some brands contain xylitol (artificial sweetener) which is toxic for dogs. Only use peanut butter that is xylitol free.

We have been asked if humans can eat this cake as well, and the answer is YES! However, unlike a traditional cake, it lacks sugar, so just know it won’t be as sweet as your pet is.
