Why This Frosting Is Safe for Dogs
Not all frostings are created equal—especially when it comes to your pup’s health. Traditional cake frostings often contain sugar, artificial sweeteners (like xylitol), and dairy fats that can upset your dog’s tummy. This cream cheese dog frosting skips the risky stuff and uses low-fat cream cheese, natural sweeteners, and optional veggie-based colorants for a safe, celebratory swirl.
- No xylitol, artificial sweeteners, or added sugars
- Low-lactose cream cheese is easier on digestion
- Pumpkin puree adds fiber and flavor
- Natural powders like beet or turmeric offer color without chemicals
Always introduce new ingredients slowly and consult your vet if your dog has dietary sensitivities or medical conditions.
