October 2010, little Carnage woke up with a slight limp which evolved into full paralysis of her hind legs and bladder.
Examined by a spinal specialist vet in Brisbane, Carnage was diagnosed with having bulged seven discs which had damaged her spinal cord. Due to the severity of her condition the vet advised Carnage be put down, but that wasn’t an option for us.
Instead we underwent six weeks of recovery and physiotherapy where she maintained her “never give up” spirit, including the month following as she learnt to navigate a set of wheels.

Additionally, consumers have complete control over the ingredients and quality of the meat being purchased, which reduces the risk of a dangerous food recall.
