News – “As Seen On TV”!
We have been filmed for Bondi Vet (Channel 10), Creature Features, News (ABC, Channel 7) and Sunrise (Channel 7) and interviewed for the paper (Daily Telegraph).
In Bondi Vet, we worked with Dr Chris Brown to help Jasper the gorgeous kelpie get up and about in one of our Walkin Wheels™ carts. Since filming, Jasper has got a whole new lease on life and continues to make improvements – he can now play at the park!
