Planning a birthday party, ‘gotcha day’ anniversary, or just a picnic for your favourite furry companion? At Ruffingtons, we love parties, and love even more to share those special celebrations with our dogs.
No party, of course, is complete without tasty treats. That includes for our pets.
These dog-friendly treats are easy to whip up, gentle on tummies, and guaranteed to make your pup and their pals the life of the party!
Thank you to Victoria Gray who put together these delicious dog-friendly party recipes using our Ruffingtons treats. Did you catch them featured in the Daily Mail and the Mirror last month?
Celebration Cake, serves 18-20, small slices:
Ingredients:
- 200g wholemeal flour
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 small sweet potato, cooked and mashed
- Half a large carrot, grated
- 2 tsp coconut oil, plus a little for greasing
- 250ml oat milk
- 1 medium organic egg
To decorate:
3 large potatoes, mashed
Ruffingtons Terrier Truffles to decorate
- Preheat your oven to 200C degrees and line and grease 2 small cake tins with baking parchment. Add the banana to a bowl and mash, then add the egg, grated carrot, coconut oil and oat milk and mix together until fully combined.
- Add the flour and stir into the mixture until fully combined. Divide the mixture between the cake tins.
- Bake the cakes for 45 minutes to 1 hour until completely cooked through. (The cakes won’t rise much as there is no baking powder in the recipe.)
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool on a rack. Whilst your cakes are cooling, make the frosting. Peel and chop your potatoes into pieces, then boil in a saucepan of water for 20 minutes until soft.
- Drain leave to cool before mashing. Spoon half the mashed potato onto one of the cakes and sandwich together.
- Then add the remaining mash to the top of the cake with a palette knife and decorate with Ruffingtons Terrier Truffles.
Bone Broth Biscuits, makes 12:
Ingredients:
- 100g (*Xylitol free) peanut butter
- 4 tbsp of honey
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 100ml chicken bone broth
- 2 tbsp of rolled oats
- 175g wholemeal flour, plus a little extra for rolling out.
- Preheat your oven to 200C degrees.
- Whisk together peanut butter, honey, oil and chicken broth until smooth. Add the flour and oats and mix until fully combined.
- Add a little flour to your work surface. Turn out the dough and knead for a minute on the floured work surface, then roll the dough until it’s about 5mm thick.
- Using a bone cookie cutter, stamp out the cookies.
- Stamp out as many cookies as your cutter allows (roll up the leftover scraps and re-roll). Transfer the cookies to a baking parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes, until golden. Transfer to a rack to cool. Store them in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Puppiccinos, makes 1:
Ingredients:
- 50ml whipped cream
- 1 tsp pumpkin puree
To dip:
- Whip the cream until thick. Stir through the pumpkin puree. Spoon into a cup and serve.
- Split your Ruffingtons Dog Eclairs and dip into the Puppiccino
All recipes should be served in small slices as a party treat.
