Cake is a sweet dessert made from flour, sugar, eggs, and butter. It is not recommended for dogs to consume cake as it contains high amounts of sugar, which can lead to obesity, dental problems, and even diabetes. Additionally, some cakes may contain ingredients that are toxic to dogs, such as chocolate, raisins, or nuts.
If a dog accidentally eats cake, it may experience gastrointestinal issues such as vomiting and diarrhea. In extreme cases, it can lead to pancreatitis, which is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention.
Safer alternatives for dogs include dog-friendly cakes made with ingredients such as pumpkin, peanut butter, and carrots, or small pieces of fresh fruit such as apples or bananas.
