About Moi: You’ve heard the saying “Behind every great woman (Julie), there is a greater man.” (Me, of course! Ha ha ha!) Even so, I would like to be known as the CEO and Production Manager of Greenpet. I am mainly referred to as the ‘Box Boy’ as I am also responsible for sending the orders out. Our loyal customers and wonderful staff make working at Greenpet a treat! I take a lot of pride and satisfaction in knowing that our Greenpet products have improved the health of thousands of pets around Australia and beyond.

Besides work, I like nothing more than listening to loud rock & blues music and playing walking football (soccer for the over 50’s).

Our fluffy family members

Mista

Mista is a miniature horse and is not only the cutest little fellow, he loves to give you a head rub if you scratch his chest. He has trouble keeping his figure in shape due to his love for eating 24/7.

Tilly

Tilly is another super-cute miniature horse and is Mista’s best friend. She also loves her food and struggles to keep her tummy-line trim, especially when she constantly steels food from Mista.

On the other side but always in our hearts…

Roxy

Little Roxy lived to 15 years and was the heart and soul of Greenpet.

She was our trusty watchdog, and let us know when anyone came into the office.

She enjoyed showing off her repertoire of tricks – Stay, sit, lie down, spin, dance, roll over and ‘bang bang’ (playing dead)!

Dash

Dash, was my heart horse. A beautiful QH mare that was 24 years young when she crossed over the rainbow bridge. She loved the beach and galloping through the lake. She was the perfect trail horse (as long as there were no pigs or alpacas!).
