How to Make Frosting for Dog Treats

If your dog is one of the family, you will want to celebrate his birthday. You may have purchased some chew toys as a gift, but what do you do about a cake? It is not healthy to give dogs cake or regular icing. A better option is to make some frosting that won't hurt your dog and decorate some of his dog treats. Then you can eat the cake with your family while your dog enjoys some treats.

Things You'll Need

• 1 tbsp. butter 2 cups banana 6 tbsp. carob powder 3 tbsp. flour 2 tbsp. vanilla Food coloring (optional) Cinnamon Nutmeg

Instructions

1. Melt the butter in the microwave or set it out ahead of time so that it will be soft. Pour it in a large bowl.

2. Use a mixer to mash up the banana. The number of bananas needed will depend on the size of the bananas. Add bananas to the large bowl.

3. Measure out the carob powder and add it to the bowl. This is a healthy substitute for cocoa. Dogs shouldn't have chocolate.

4. Add the flour and vanilla to the bowl. Drip 5 to 7 drops of food coloring, if desired. Add 4 shakes each of cinnamon and nutmeg

5. Combine all of the ingredients in the bowl with a mixer until smooth.

Tips & Warnings

• Put the icing in a plastic zip-top bag. Cut one corner and squeeze out on to the dog treats.
