Looking for ways to spoil your dog on its birthday? We've got a delicious birthday cake recipe featuring 2 tiers and frosting that will have them smacking their lips for more. NB: if your dog hasn't had similar treats previously or has food sensitivities, please only offer a small amount only so as not to upset their tummies.
What's more, it's sugar-free this (means no sugar or alternatives - some of those can even kill dogs), low fat and super simple to make!
