These cakes are great as a special treat or training reward for your four-legged friend. When you make them, give your dog less of their regular food, so they’re not overfed.

Some dogs could have sensitivities to some of the ingredients so these might not be suitable for all pooches. If you have any concerns about giving your dog new foods please speak to your vet.
