Guests at Beachscape and Tides will know that this year, I started leaving a welcome pack of doggie biscuits. They’ve gone down very well and many guests buy some more from Nero’s Kitchen before going home.
Jan of Nero’s makes all the biscuits herself from natural ingredients; she even makes Christmas stockings as a special treat for your furry friend! All the profits are donated to various animal rescues, including Elpida Shelter of Hope, Desperate Greekies Greek Dog Rescue, then closer to home F.A.I.T.H Animal Rescue and Hillside Dog Rescue, two Norfolk based charities.
Now you may not be visiting Norfolk soon, but are thinking what a nice treat it would be for your dog? Maybe even get the kids involved with some baking on a rainy day? So if you’d like to make your own dog biscuits, here’s a recipe I found on the Guide Dogs site:
Homemade Dog Biscuits Recipe

- Roll out the dough evenly, until ½ inch thick.
