A Team of Vets, United by a Love for Dogs
We’re a passionate group of Emergency Vets and foster carers from Sydney, Australia, dedicated to improving the lives of dogs. By using our combined expertise, we aim to provide comfort and support to both dogs and their families, helping re-home and rehabilitate felines in need.
ONE EMERGENCY VET. TWO DUMB DOGS. ONE SMART BORDER COLLIE.
I’m Dr Duncan Houston, BVSc — an Emergency Vet from Sydney, Australia, and the human behind WOOPF. And yes… WOOPF was basically built around my dogs Bridie and Kiko: two lovable idiots who destroy everything, forget their manners the moment a bird exists, and treat “training” like a casual suggestion.
They’re not the easiest to teach… but they’re very committed to product testing. If it survives their chaos, tugging, chewing, rolling, and general goblin behaviour, it’s probably tough enough for real life.
To keep things honest, we also test with Jess — my intelligent family Border Collie (the honour student in a house full of clowns) — plus a big crew of friends, dog families, and fellow vets. Because before anything launches, it has to pass the ultimate exam: real dogs, real mess, real adventures.
