I baked this triple protein dog cake for my dog Luna’s birthday last weekend. The chicken, beef, and eggs made the cake protein-dense, and she ate the first piece without hesitation.

I store the cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Luna gets a small slice as a treat, and the cake usually lasts us four days.
