Little apple cakes made especially for dogs!
Bring apple-picking season into your kitchen with these healthy Apple Mini Dog Cakes. Fresh apple gives each little cake natural sweetness and fibre, while oat flour creates a soft texture without dairy or eggs.
There’s no added sugar, artificial flavouring or sweetener, making these 100% vegan dog cakes a fun homemade treat for an autumn birthday, gotcha day or simply because your dog deserves to join in with cosy baking season.

To serve
Serve them plain or add a tiny spoonful of unsweetened plant-based yoghurt and some Soopa Healthy Bites for a special occasion. These soft homemade apple dog treats are particularly lovely for dogs who aren’t as keen on hard biscuits. Keep refrigerated and treat them as an occasional extra alongside your dog's normal balanced diet.
A note from our Soopa Nutritionist: Suitable for all healthy dogs over 3 months old. Replace oats and oat flour with wholemeal or spelt flour to make it more suitable for diabetic dogs.
