Healthy Treat Recipes for Dogs

Healthy Pet Dog Cake Recipe with Carrots

Happy National Carrot Cake Day! I’m really loving this fun daily holidays. It helps keep me inspired on what to write on my lifestyle blog. Today, I will share a healthy dog cake recipe from my dog treat cookbook, Dexter’s Delights. But first, let’s talk a little bit about some of the health benefits of carrots.

The carrot has a variety of health benefits for both us and our pets. I’m going to guess that you are visualizing the bright orange carrot, but the carrot also can be yellow, red, purple or white. The orange carrots are high in beta-carotene, which is amazing for eyesight. Carrots are also a great source of potassium, fiber, and antioxidants. Research is also showing that carrots are beneficial in treating inflammation and cancer! Now that’s something to chew on.
