How to Make Simple Dog Cake

Celebrate your dog's birthday with a cake he and his canine friends can eat. While human confections can cause an upset stomach or worse, a fido-friendly cake is actually good for your dog. Doggie baked goods should be low-fat, low in sugar and feature flavors dogs love, such as meat, carrots or bananas. Don't use chocolate or raisins, as both of these ingredients can harm dogs.
