In 1993 he hosted his first series, Talk to the Animals, and then in 1997, the veterinary series Harry's Practice, which was cancelled in 2003 despite consistently high ratings. Cooper currently presents a veterinary segment on the lifestyle program Better Homes and Gardens. He is also an animal welfare advocate and public speaker.

In March 2012, he revealed that he had split from his wife of 26 years.[3] Cooper has three children and five grandchildren.
