Applesauce Banana Dog Cake

Applesauce Banana Dog Cake - A Birthday Cake for your fur baby baked with lots of love and some simple ingredients. 

As you may all know by now, Sasha my fur baby celebrates her birthday in April and every year I try to bake her a birthday cake. This year was no different.

Instead of making the same cake every year I try some new recipe and this time it was Applesauce Banana Dog Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting.

Well the name gives a pretty good idea about what the cake is made of :). Sasha loves Apples so I try to include apple as one of the ingredient of her cake.
Yogurt is her another favorite so that was included in her frosting.

Both apples and yogurt are part of Sasha's everyday diet. We got this tip to include yogurt as it gives a a good shiny and silky fur coat. We have been following that religiously ever since.

Sasha is not a fussy eater and given a chance she would have finished the entire cake in one go. But I prefer to portion this cake in to 4 and give her one piece each day.

Clicking pics especially with food in front of her is a BIG challenge as she doesn't like wasting time when it comes to food. You can clearly see her eagerness from the pics 😉

Sasha loves outdoor just like most other dogs. As the seasons change, dogs start spending more time outside so it's important to make sure they're starting off summer healthy and happy.

We make sure Sasha has regular health check-ups in each season where her overall health is checked in addition to any ear or feet infections, signs of flea as well as dental checks.

She is also scheduled for regular baths, nail trim and fur trim especially in summer since she is out so much more and needs it more in summer than in winter.
