Happy Birrthday Queen! Make sure that she only has a small serving of cake or treats. We don't want her sick on her birthday. No bones, fat or grease should be used and minimal to no sugar. I found this recipe online that should be acceptable just make sure she doesn't eat the whole thing! Foods that she isn't used to can give her diarrhea or worse, potentially pancreatitis. So only a small serving even though I'm sure she'd be cute diving into a whole cake. https://www.browneyedbaker.com/dog-birthday-cake/
