Safe Swaps & Pro Tips
Every dog is unique, so here’s how to keep treats safe:
- No pumpkin? Try mashed banana or unsweetened applesauce.
- No oat flour? Blend rolled oats until powdery or use rice flour.
- Egg allergy? Replace each egg with ¼ cup applesauce.
Never use xylitol or artificial sweeteners; they’re toxic to dogs (source: PetMD).
Nutritional Benefits
These Pup Cakes aren’t just cute; they’re nutritious too.
- Pumpkin: Aids digestion and supports a healthy coat.
- Eggs: High in protein for muscle strength.
- Oats: Gentle on the tummy and full of fiber.
