Stallholder portrait - Debbie's Dog Treats
Debbie’s stall is quite the opposite of a dog’s breakfast – all the delicacies for the town’s pooches are neatly aligned and labelled. Her love of dogs got her to find the Dog Treats she is selling on Thames Market. “I started buying seconds, things that might end up as waste but are gourmet food” for any canine. The treats, venison ears, wind pipes etc., are smoked, and dried, and packed in “fully compostable packaging, made from corn starch”. The packaging has another advantage. “If the dogs get into the cupboard to steel treats, they won’t choke” because the packaging material will just dissolve in their mouth. Debbie’s stall is a magnet for dog lovers also for another reason – her three-legged rescued dog Tessa. After an accident one front leg had to be amputated but that didn’t change Tessa’s friendly nature – she likes people and people like her. “She is quite famous and some people come especially to say hello to her”, says Debbie.
