The Ultimate Guide to Dog Birthday Cakes in Ottawa (2025)

Planning a celebration for your dog in Ottawa? You're not alone. More and more pet parents in Kanata, Stittsville, and across the National Capital Region are celebrating their pup with a custom dog cake. Birthdays, gotcha days, gender reveals, or just because. And honestly? Your dog deserves it.

At 2 Treats Down, we've baked hundreds of personalized dog cakes for Ottawa families. Here's everything you need to know about ordering one.

What Size Dog Cake Should You Order?

  • We offer two sizes:
  • 4-inch cake - Perfect for smaller breeds or smaller gatherings. Serves 1-3 dogs comfortably.
  • 6-inch cake - Ideal for larger breeds, multi-dog households, or parties with doggy guests.

Both sizes come in either one layer or two layers, depending on the design. Not sure what's right for your pup? We can discuss and recommend a size based on your requirements.

What Flavours Do Dogs Love Most?

Our best-selling flavour is Peanut Butter & Carrot. We can also accommodate other flavour preferences.

All cakes are made with human-grade ingredients. We only use xylitol-free peanut butter, ensuring every bite is safe for your pup. Every cake is baked fresh in our Kanata kitchen with no preservatives.

Can You Accommodate Allergies?

  • Absolutely. We routinely work with dogs who have:
  • Peanut or nut allergies
  • Sensitive stomachs
  • Low-protein dietary needs

Just mention any dietary requirements in your cake order request form, and we'll discuss suitable options while discussing your order.

Can You Customize the Design?

Every cake is fully customizable. We've made cakes for birthdays, gotcha days, gender reveals, and nature-themed celebrations. Caricatures, portraits, seasonal themes, and more.

You share your vision with us. Colours, theme, reference images. We bring it to life with dog-safe frosting and decorations. Your dog's name can also be added to the cake.

How Far in Advance Should You Order?

We recommend ordering at least 2 weeks in advance for custom cakes, especially during peak seasons (summer birthday months, holidays). The sooner the better. We've accommodated rush orders when possible, just reach out and we'll see what we can do.

  • Frozen: Up to 6 months (thaw a couple hours before serving)
  • Slice and share. One slice is plenty per dog.
