Tayla Meath, Dog House Australia host, dies aged 30 from cancer
The TV personality died from adenoid cystic carcinoma, diagnosed in 2024 and spreading to her liver by June.
Tayla Meath starred on The Dog House Australia, a reality show that matches rescue dogs with new families. Tayla Meath died on September 1 at age 30 after an incredibly difficult battle with cancer.
In 2024, she was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma, a rare and aggressive cancer that forms in the glandular tissues of the head and neck. By June this year, scans showed the cancer had spread to her liver and caused multiple bile duct blockages.
Doctors told her there was nothing more they could do. She leaves behind her husband Curtis and their three-year-old Labrador, Archie.
The show's producers said she will be remembered for the extraordinary love and care she showed the dogs and the lasting impact she made on everyone who knew her.
