I made this veggie lover’s dog cake for my dog Luna’s birthday last month. The carrots and peas made the cake colorful, and she ate the first piece without picking around the vegetables.
With simple vegetables and a few other dog-friendly ingredients, this dog cake recipe is easy to prepare and bake, making it an ideal choice for pet owners who want to provide their dogs with a tasty and healthy snack.

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