Serving tip

Take two biscuits and arrange them on a plate with some wet food between them. This will make the biscuits even more of a delicious, festive treat for your dog. Our favourites to accompany this recipe are: Lamb & Beef and Salmon & Trout.

And there we go: Christmas is now a festive feast for everyone!

Ps: these cookies contain a lot of carbs. So be sure to not give your dog too much on one day. Spread them over the holidays.
