A Cake For Your Pet
Have you been in the situation of preparing a cake for your pet , but you don’t know how to do it? It really is very simple, you just have to choose one or more of your favorite foods for the base, and combine with others that are easily digestible.
Although in appearance it seems like human cakes, there are products that should not be used. For example, chocolate and cream are not suitable for the sensitive stomach of the animal. Instead, the colorful bone-shaped cookies can be used for decoration.
The quantity does not matter, but the taste does
In the final part of the cake, you can replace the frosting with a mashed potato, which will be shaped with a pastry bag. Be it a single cake or a tower of cupcakes , it is possible to vary the flavor of the cakes. Meat, chicken, liver or sausages are ingredients that will conquer the palate of the dog or cat.
Honey
Among the sweet ingredients that our dogs can take, is honey. There are various benefits that this natural product provides to canines, especially in the treatment of small wounds; honey fights the effects of gastroenteritis and prevents the growth of bacteria, strengthening your immune system.
Testing new flavors
Like humans, dogs love trying new things. But it is important to choose your ingredients with your well-being in mind ; carrots, for example, fortify your teeth and act as antioxidants.
In the case of potatoes, they offer our pet energy, vitality, minerals and vitamins; a good portion of apples will protect your organism with its digestive and astringent properties.
Time to serve
