Pumpkin Cake for Dogs
Pumpkin cake for dogs is a yummy cupcake treat for your favorite pet that is safe for pets to eat when they want a special treat!
Our First Pet
We brought Danger home just one week before Thanksgiving. He was just 8 weeks old.
Our little puppy is named Danger because of the adorable little fur mask framing his eyes. He cried the first few nights missing his brothers and sisters, but then he realized how much we loved him, and would love him forever.
Danger’s doggy birthday is in the fall, so pumpkin cake is one of his favorite flavors!

Happy Birthday Danger!
It was so great to chat with you yesterday. 😀 And I'm LOVING that S'mores roll.
I love this! Happy birthday Danger!
I might have to look into a puppy cake for my Edie girl 🙂
Happy Birthday and thanks for posting your recipe. I'll regularly visit your site from now on. Delicious recipe indeed.
That was my first doggie birthday and it was so an eye opener. The presents and cake was such a crack-up to watch him enjoy!
What fun! And such a cute face looking out at us! Happy Birthday, Danger.
Kitty, I love your hair in the picture with Danger. It is so cute! Happy birthday Danger!
OhMyGosh – that's hysterical!!! I've never seen a dog open a present like that — he's amazing. I cracked up too, cause I saw the first picture, and then the second and said there's no way that can be the same dog — did all his hair fall out? Then I read about the haircut — too funny. Happy Birthday Danger!!!
ok…that cake is really adorable. Might have to make that for a dog in my life :0)
Visiting you from SITS…have a great day!
