Top 5 Tips for Baking Pet-Friendly Cakes

Baking for your pets requires special attention to ingredients and techniques. Here are our top tips:

1. Avoid Toxic Ingredients

Never use:

• Chocolate (especially dark chocolate)
• Xylitol (found in many sugar-free products)
• Grapes or raisins
• Onions or garlic
• Macadamia nuts

2. Use Pet-Safe Alternatives

• Carob instead of chocolate
• Honey or applesauce for natural sweetness
• Peanut butter (xylitol-free) for flavor
• Pumpkin for moisture and nutrition

3. Keep It Simple

Pets don’t need complex flavors. Simple, natural ingredients often work best and are safer.

4. Portion Control

Even pet-friendly treats should be given in moderation. Small portions are key!

5. Consult Your Vet

When in doubt, always consult with your veterinarian about what’s safe for your specific pet.

Happy baking!
