Recipe Notes
Get fancy with a little froth! Use a milk frother or whipped cream dispenser to top your furbaby’s hot chocolate. Go one step further and dust the froth with a little peanut butter powder.
Most dogs can’t process the lactose in dairy products well. It may be better to use a non-dairy alternative. Oat milk and coconut milk are great options.
IMPORTANT
Never feed your dog or cat chocolate, including cocoa powder. It contains theobromine which is extremely toxic to pets.
