A few years ago we adopted a little dog who’d been found wandering in the desert. He is a small terrier mix with a big attitude.
We named him Augustus Caesar because he needed a grand name to match his superiority complex. We call him Gus for short.
Gus is my second child. He is never far from my side and fights with his sister, my 5 year old daughter, all the time.
Gus is a pampered pooch. I’ve been wanting to make some homemade doggy treats for him for a while but I kept putting it off. I didn’t have the right ingredients or I just didn’t have the time.
What I really wanted was a quick fix that was safe and healthy for my little GusGus. In comes Puppy Cake!
You may have seen them on the show Shark Tank. Puppy Cake makes cake, cookie and ice cream mixes that are safe for your dogs with all natural ingredients.
The wonderful folks at Puppy Cake sent us three different products to try and I’ll be sharing each of them with you in a three part review.
This review will focus on their Holiday Cookie Mix which retails for $6.99. This awesome little pouch contains the dry ingredients to make about 18 little bone shaped “cookies” that your dog will love.
They even include the cookie cutter in the pouch! All you need to do is add one egg, a table spoon of oil and a little bit of water. It can’t be any more simple.
I let my 5 year old do almost all of the work and she loved being able to make special treats for our Gus.
The resulting “cookies” are wheat and gluten free and don’t contain any mystery ingredients.
In fact, they fit right in with a diet I’ve recently had to adopt so even I gave them a little nibble. While I wouldn’t keep them around as a snack for myself, I feel perfectly confidant feeding them to Gus knowing that they are safe and all natural.
Stay tuned for my reviews of their Peanut Butter Puppy Scoops Ice Cream and Wheat Free Pumpkin Spice Cake.

DeleteI learned that Puppy Cakes was on Shark Tank! (Love the cute pics of your pup, by the way!)

I like that there are wheat free options.
ReplyDeleteI loved the personalized birthday cakes!
ReplyDeleteI bake all the time. This would be great for the holidays. My dog loves peanut butter so I would grab the Puppy Cake Wheat-Free Peanut Butter Cake Mix and Frosting .
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! How cute! I love the chips!
ReplyDeleteI was curious how a chocolate cake could be safe for dogs, but see from the ingredients list that it's carob! I like that the list the ingredients, and also love that their 'black velvet cake' for dogs is not only wheat free but uses beets to color it rather than chemical dyes.
ReplyDeleteI am really excited by these products. I love to make my doggies some treats but I am not a great baker and doing it from scratch scares me. I can do it from a mix though. I love the jello treats and cookies and the puptato chips are soo cute
ReplyDeleteThis is neat! I knew Puppy Cake had cake mixes, but not cookie mixes!
ReplyDeleteI like the Puppy Cake Wheat-Free Red Velvet Mix and Frosting and the Dog Bone Silicone Cake Pan
My puppy would like the cake frosting...just by itself! Lol! xD
ReplyDeleteI cook all the time for Layla so this would be amazing
ReplyDeleteI like the Puppy Scoops Ice Cream Mix: Peanut Butter (:
ReplyDeletePuptato chips sound awesome
ReplyDeleteI learned that they post the ingredients list which is very important to me when purchasing for my two pups!
ReplyDeleteMy 2 pups have liked the peanut butter treats so the peauntu butter Puppy Cake is what they would like.
ReplyDeleteOh I would love to try the Puppy Cake Wheat-Free Pumpkin Spice Cake Mix and Frosting!
ReplyDeleteHoliday Cookie Mix Sounds Great
ReplyDeletelove the all natural sweet potato chips. thankyou, ken poh19@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteMy dogs LOVE peanut butter and they have always enjoyed frozen treats. The Puppy Scoops Ice Cream Mix: Peanut Butter looks like something they would really like.
ReplyDeletei would like to try the brownie cake mix
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try this for my chihuahua! He is a pretty old guy now so he has problems chewing anything to hard. Baking my own I could bake to my desired hardness so the little guy could enjoy a treat. I have actually been wanting to try some make your own dog treats for a while, but I didn't know there were mixes for it! Thank you for posting this and doing this awesome giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteMy dog would love it
ReplyDeleteWe just got a pouch of these in our holiday True Drool subscription box. Can't wait to give them a try!
