Notes

✅ Use Dog-Safe Ingredients – Ensure bacon is cooked and unsalted, and opt for low-fat, natural cheddar cheese to keep it healthier for your pup.

✅ Moderation is Key – While these treats are delicious, they should be given in moderation due to the fat content in cheese and bacon.

✅ Flour Alternatives – If your dog is sensitive to wheat, you can substitute oat flour, coconut flour, or almond flour for a grain-free option.

✅ No Harmful Additives – Avoid using seasoned bacon, artificial cheese, or added salts/spices, as they can be harmful to dogs.

✅ Storage – Store cupcakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months for longer freshness.

🐾 Perfect for birthdays, training rewards, or just because your pup deserves a special treat! 🎉💕
