The recipe is simple to follow and perfect for celebrating special occasions or just to show your dog some extra love. Your pet will appreciate the apple flavor and the wholesome ingredients of this dog cake.

I keep the cake covered in the fridge for up to three days. Milo gets a small slice as a treat, and the cake usually lasts us four days.
