Currently being offered on the beverage menu are puppycinos, a frothy milk perfect to cool down dogs on those hot summer days. 

When it’s time for grub, dogs can enjoy everything from Pawtein Balls and Sesame Pup Wafers to Watermelon Chews, a dehydrated watermelon strip. 

Richard Allen, the food and beverage manager at TFE Hotels in New South Wales, said the restaurant was inspired to launch the doggy degustation menu after seeing a ‘huge increase in the demand for doggie-friendly hospitality options’. 

‘Knowing pet owners treat their pets as they would treat their children, we just had to allow our patrons the opportunity to enjoy their brunch alongside their four-legged friends!’ he told Daily Mail Australia.  

The restaurant collaborated with animal nutritionist Urban Herd to make sure the menu would be both delicious and safe for dogs

Allen revealed that the restaurant collaborated with animal nutritionist Urban Herd to make sure the menu would be both delicious and safe for dogs. 

‘The menu includes a range of super healthy treats containing human-grade ingredients with no preservatives, flavours, fillers, or colours,’ he said. 

That means the food is even safe for owners to eat if they’re tempted to have a nibble.

And the menu has been a hit since it launched earlier this month. 

‘We’ve had a revolving door of furry friends visiting us since the announcement of the dogustation menu,’ Allen said.

Visitors love that they don’t need to leave their dog outside or perched on the floor, missing out on all the fun of a day out!”

‘Instead, doggy owners can treat themselves AND their fur-babies to a treat out on the town!’ 

The menu has been a hit since it launched earlier this month, as customers are happy they finally don't have to leave their pup outside while they eat
