I baked this turkey and apple oat cake for my dog Luna’s birthday party last weekend. The apples and oats made the cake hearty, and she ate the first piece before the other dogs arrived.
The recipe is simple to follow, making it easy to whip up a tasty treat for your pet. This dog cake recipe ensures your dog enjoys a wholesome treat that caters to their dietary needs while celebrating their special day.

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.
