In March 2017, Brown announced he was stepping down as host due to an extensive schedule. The series production company, WTFN Entertainment, are currently searching for a new host. The company reported it had received over 800 nominations in just a week of the announcement and revealed they will choose the Top 10 people and the public will get to decide on who will be the next Bondi Vet.
