Answer 3

Sounds like a good recipe- thanks for sharing. The small amount of cream cheese this recipe calls for should be fine for your dog, unless your dog happens to have issues with dairy products. As long as you are only going to use 12oz and go according to the recipe and feeding instructions- not too much at once! You should be fine. Happy B-day and happy eats to whatever dog you have

Answer 4

In moderation, I sure wouldn't give them 12 oz worth. Milk products are not that great for dogs, it would probably give them diarrhea.
I think the cake would be fine without the brick and a half of cream cheese...

Answer 5

Yea it is safe.My friend has a dog and he loves to eat cream cheese.

Answer 6

Yes it is fine, just make sure not to feed your dog too much of it at a time..just small pieces.
