The company was wound up late last year and placed into liquidation, with Leon Lee of Morton's Solvency Accountants appointed as liquidator. 
While the business's registered office is in Brisbane, the warehouse is located in Adelaide.
According to the Courier Mail the 52 creditors include Australian Pet Brands, Masterpets Australia and Petworkx. 
They are each owed tens of thousands of dollars.
The Daily Mail Australia reached out to the company for contact, but the listed numbers on its website had been disconnected.
