Hendrix Pet Co.

Hendrix started out helping with his mum’s dog walking business after school, then took it over and got to know the dogs and owners at the park. Selling dog treats came next, and he began the business at six years old. He now has customers around Australia, has been featured on TV, radio, podcasts and in newspapers, and has published a book, Think Like a Six-Year-Old.

The range is sorted by flavour, including beef, chicken, kangaroo, goat, pork, lamb and fish, along with cookies, supplements and low-fat options. Orders are placed through the website.

There is no shopfront. Hendrix gets around on his scooter to dog parks, meet-ups, dog shows, markets and pet events, and is often found selling treats at the fenced dog park in Bulimba Riverside Park on Love Street. He often carries special releases and products that are not listed online.
