I tried this venison rice cake for my dog Milo’s birthday after he developed a sensitivity to chicken. The venison smelled gamey in the oven, and he circled the kitchen until I let him taste a crumb.
Perfect for any dog birthday party, this dog cake recipe combines lean venison and rice into a moist cake that will have tails wagging. It’s a great way to show your love while keeping your pet’s health in mind.

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