Make a bright red Christmas Dog Cake using pumpkin and beetroot. A simple, healthy holiday treat your pup will love. Safe ingredients and easy steps.
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Pumpkin purée | 1 cup |
| Beetroot powder | 1 tbsp |
| Coconut flour | 1/3 cup |
| Egg | 1 |
| Warm water | 2–4 tbsp (as needed) |
Blend the color base. Mix the pumpkin purée and beetroot powder until the batter turns a smooth, bright red. It should smell sweet and earthy.
Add the dry ingredient. Stir in the coconut flour. The batter will thicken into a soft, workable dough.
Mix in the egg and water. Add the egg, then pour warm water a little at a time. Stop when the texture spreads easily but does not run.
Shape your festive cakes. Press the dough into silicone holiday molds such as stars or mini trees. Kids love helping with this part.
Bake and cool. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18–22 minutes, or until firm. Let the cakes cool fully so the color sets and the texture becomes soft and chewy.
Safety Reminder: Pumpkin and beetroot are safe for most dogs, but always check with your vet if your pup has stomach sensitivities. Egg allergies are rare but possible.
