Happy birthday! In search for the best doggie birthday treats

So Alfie's birthday is coming up at the end of the month and to mark his 11th birthday I want to get him something special. As Alfie is a big fan of his food there was no question about what to get, a yummy doggie birthday cake. 

These are my top 5 birthday treats....

Bed & Biscuits Celebration Carob Cake (£15)

Carob is a safe chocolate alternative for dogs that is non-toxic. All their products use sugar free frosting which I really like as I don't really understand the need to add sugar to any dog food. Alfie's teeth aren't in the best shape to be honest and added sugar definitely won't help! At a hefty £15 it's the most expensive birthday treat here but it's definitely the biggest too!

Daisy's Dog Deli Roast Chicken Dinner Birthday Bone (£9.99)

Daisy's Dog Deli use their very popular muffin recipe to create this extra special dog bone. All their recipes ingredients are 100% natural, they don't add any salt, sugar or fat and all ingredients are human grade (good enough to be used in recipes for human food), so your dog is sure to get a tasty treat. They have four different birthday bone flavours - lambs liver, sausage, roast lamb and the roast chicken bone. Mmmmmm!

Doggie Patisserie Happy Birthday Cake (£12.50)

This cake by Doggie Patisserie is the most birthday cake like and does use the most 'human-like' ingredients including desiccated coconut and white chocolate icing (described as being doggie safe). Definitely an occasional treat as I feel it may pile on the pounds but it does feed 8 so it could be eaten over a few days as it should keep. Oh and it can be personalised for free too and gift wrapped so it does make a lovely birthday treat.

Alpha & Ruby's Happy Pupcake (£2.99)

These pupcakes are incredibly cute! They come in three different colours with a biscuit top and I absolutely love the packaging. Alpha & Ruby also promote the fact that they only use 100% human grade ingredients and are gluten and wheat free which is great. At £2.99 they're very reasonable and a size that Alfie would enjoy as some of the other cakes are rather large and may be a bit over-facing, even for one greedy dog!

Bertz Pet Bakery Cupcakes -pack of 4 (£8.50)

These cupcakes can also be personalised which I love and are presented in a gift box. Each cupcake has a signature peanut butter base and are even safe for humans to eat as the ingredients are peanut butter, flour, molasses, water, yoghurt frosting and carob. Not bad for £8.50 and they do look gorgeous but I'm sure Alfie would prefer something with a bit more meat?!

Now decisions decisions...
