Oh dear, it sounds like your dog had quite the feast! Eating a whole cake can definitely be a concern, especially if it contained ingredients like chocolate, raisins, or xylitol, which are all toxic to dogs. If any of these ingredients were in the cake, it would be a good idea to seek veterinary advice promptly.
However, if the cake was free of toxic substances, the main issues we might need to look out for include an upset stomach, pancreatitis, or even a blockage if the cake had any decorations or wrappers.
At home, you can help by monitoring your dog closely for signs like vomiting, diarrhea, excessive drooling, or lethargy. These could indicate an upset stomach, but if severe, might signal a more serious issue like pancreatitis. Also, keep an eye on their appetite and behavior—if anything seems off, it's best to consult a vet.
Make sure your dog has plenty of water available to help with digestion, and offer a bland diet for the next few meals to help settle their stomach.
If you notice signs like difficulty breathing, repeated vomiting, or bloating, those can be more serious indications that need immediate professional attention.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
