Your dog’s birthday (or gotcha day!) is the perfect excuse to celebrate your furry friend with love and make them feel like the star they are. Whether you’re planning an extravagant pup party or a cozy celebration at home, here are some paw-some ideas to make their special day unforgettable!
Whip Up a Dog-Friendly Cupcake
What’s a birthday without cake? While regular cakes are a no-go for dogs, you can easily whip up a simple and safe dog-friendly cupcake that will have tails wagging. Here’s a super-easy recipe:
Ingredients:
1/4 cup peanut butter (unsweetened
1/2 banana, mashed
1/2 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour for a gluten-free option)
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 tsp baking powder
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix the peanut butter, mashed banana, and applesauce until smooth.
Gradually stir in the flour and baking powder until well combined.
Pour the batter into a lined muffin tin and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool completely before frosting with a dollop of dog-friendly yogurt or more peanut butter.
Decorate with a sprinkle of shredded carrots or dried fish dog treats for a festive touch!
