You can also use \ as an escape character. Hence
#\,###\,##\,##\,##0.00
should also work. On the other hand
0 "dog biscuits";;"Out of dog biscuits"
is better with double-quotes!

It's a nice trick, but such formats have the disadvantage that they don't work well for all numbers:

Good point!
[<100000]#,##0.00;[<10000000]#\,##\,##0.00;###\,##\,##0.00
will deal with smaller numbers but then the number formats would need to be combined with conditional formatting to accommodate very large numbers.
