Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. speaking from experience, years ago with my dog we made him a peanut butter carrot doggie cake for his 13th birthday. A simple Google search will give you multiple recipes to make this type of cake. The ingredients are safe and my dog loved the taste. Ingredients consists of peanut butter, carrots, vegetable oil, honey, whole wheat flour and egg. Obviously avoid things like chocolate, artificial sweeteners and lots of added sugar. I hope this helps! I hope your dog enjoys this cake as much as mine did!
