Now there’s no reason why our pets need to miss out on the joy that baking can bring, as Battersea is launching a new series teaching owners how to make tasty homemade pancakes and frozen treats, perfect for a summer’s day, for their dogs and cats using healthy ingredients such as bananas, apples and sweet potato.

From tomorrow (26 May), Battersea will be streaming the new Made in Battersea baking series across its social channels. The series is returning by popular demand after the charity launched its first baking series last year, which to date has received over one million views.

The first episode will air at 11:00am and will show dog owners how to make a selection of mouth watering recipes, including:  

Dog pancakes

Frozen dog treats

Apple slices for dogs

Watermelon ‘ice cream’ for dogs

Frozen fruit cubes for dogs

Cat friendly egg cups

Frozen cat treats

Homemade beef jerky for cats

Gummy cat treats

Tuna balls for cats

Rehoming and Welfare Manager, Rebecca Lodder said:

“We all want to show our pets just how much we love them and baking tasty treats for them can be a great way for us to bond closer to our dogs and cats.

“All of the Battersea recipes have healthy and pet-friendly ingredients but baking for your dog or cat should only be done as an occasional treat. Just like us, our pets could get a little too rotund if they are given the chance to overindulge.”

If you want to bake along with Battersea, head over to the charity’s YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or TikTok.

Battersea has been here for every dog and cat since 1860. To find out more about the charity and the work they do, please visit www.battersea.org.uk.
