Griffin
I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for the wonderful service and for giving Griffin’s smile back. He was one happy boy at the beach last weekend and I thought you might want to see.

Molly
Two years ago I purchased a cart from you for my then 11 year old Pug, Molly. She had several herniated discs, most of which were inoperable, and she lost her ability to use her back legs. I had taken her to the vet to explore our options. Molly had seemed very depressed during this time, as I’m sure any animal who suddenly loses their ability to function as they used to. One of the vets (someone I don’t normally see) had suggested putting her to sleep because of her inability to walk. My main vet however, suggest getting her a cart. Excited by some promising news, I rushed home and began my search for a company that specialized in carts for dogs. It was during this time that I came across your website. I ended up ‘renting to own’ a cart from you in the hopes that Molly would adjust to the cart. When the cart came, I immediately put it together and put her in it. I can’t tell you enough how happy Molly became when she took her first steps in her new cart. It was amazing to witness…she literally took off running.
Over the last two years, Molly’s cart has been instrumental in giving Molly her life back.
I’m very grateful for companies like yours, who give dogs (and their owners) a second chance. I know if there weren’t companies like this, I would have lost Molly 2 years ago. So I wanted to thank you for giving me 2 more years with my baby.
Sincerely, Dina -
Allie
Allie (short for Alligator) initially came into the Emergency Animal Clinic as a stray with two other kittens at roughly 5 weeks old. While the other two were perfectly healthy, she did not have any use of her rear legs. We took x-rays to see if there was any physical trauma, but nothing was found. After the first few days of (acupuncture) sessions, you could see the stimulation of the nerves making a difference. Allie was starting to get movement back into her legs! Days and weeks go by, the acupuncture sessions continued, as did physical therapy and range of motion exercises.
Trying to have physical therapy sessions with a kitten that wants to run and play was proving to be very difficult as she got bigger and wanted to go even faster. That was when the idea of a therapy cart came to mind.
When I called your company, everyone was very helpful in answering my questions and asking me the right questions to find the best cart and fit for her. I ordered the cart on a Monday and it came in on Thursday of that same week The moment for Allie to get her set of wheels!! It was absolutely amazing- she started walking around with it as if she had been in it all of her life. After walking around for about five minutes or so, she realized that she could move faster than before- even run! Her first long sprint was across the lobby of my work, which is about 50 feet or so long. She ran so fast, we all just stared- This cart has turned into an extension of her own back end; for the weeks following, it has been a wonder to watch her as she has figured out how to reverse out of spaces she can't fit in, learn her dimensions with the wheels so that she can cut around corners and not get caught on them, and now she has discovered that she can even jump up a little with her front legs to go after a toy when we're playing. One of the pictures I've sent is of her standing on the first tier of one of my cat trees- she did that all on her own. She started by pulling herself up with her front legs, and then when she got high enough to reach with her back legs, they actually helped push her up as well.
This cart is amazing in its design...... it's like an all-terrain vehicle! It's so lightweight that a 3 pound kitten can pull it around and can easily go over small bumps or ledges with no problem. She'll even roll right over the top of my feet and not even notice! It's a good thing she's as small as she is! Even though it's so light, the cart is built to last and can go through rocks, dirt, even grass with no problem. Allie is now just over 5 pounds at almost 7 months old and I have adjusted the cart multiple times as she has grown. It has made a life-changing impact on her life, giving her a mobility and freedom that she could have never had without it.
Thank you for helping as much as you did on the phone and having the dedication to have created such a great design. In the 2 months I've had the cart, we've had two clients purchase carts from your company because they met Allie and saw how great she is in it. Clients are always amazed to see her walking around in it- you don't see many kitties in carts!
Thank you again so much, Stephanie C -
Peaches
Billie Moo had Peaches' cart refurbished so she could do some off road activities. Her dad tell us: "Her regular cart is now her town car, & her new cart is her dragster. I put the back wheels on the front even though they don't swivel! BUT those bigger back wheels make a HUGE difference, and she LOVES the speed!!! Moo was visibly excited when I put her new wheels on, and I kinda felt like it was Christmas with a kid saying, 'Hurry up Dad and put my bike together, I wanna ride!.' She is never as happy as when she is in her cart(s). Tail just wags and wags!

Hana
I am Ana from Slovenia and I ordered a K9 cart for my German Shepherd, Hana, some time ago. The cart is great and it has enabled her to walk, run and play again. It has turned out that she really is a great candidate for the cart - she is very vital and still has very strong front legs. When I took her to the veterinary (Orthopedic) he told me that the only option is euthanasia, he did not even mention the carts to me. I was very glad when a friend told me about your website. I was also a bit skeptical, because I thought that carts are appropriate only for small dogs. However, Hana proved me wrong and I hope that she will also help to change general opinion in our country a little bit.
… I decided to make some videos of her where she plays in the water, runs and it is evident that a dog can adjust to the cart and can live quite normal life. -
Sisu
This is Sisu and her new K-9cart. She is soooooooo happy. It only took her a few minutes to adjust and now we can't keep me from running constantly.!!!!! Every time we see her run---we cry---she has a new life thanks to the cart. She could only drag herself around and had sores on her legs and tummy---now she is able to be the dog she was before her stroke. It is the best money I've ever spent in my life to see her so happy…
Everybody says "Sisu is smiling".!!!!! I cry everytime I see her---we can't thank you enough. The phone calls were so informative and the customer service was outstanding. I searched the net and several sites came up but decided on yours because of the professional information. God Bless you!!! -
Longfellow
His owner tells us: "This photo was taken not long after he got his wheelchair, and he hasn't slowed down any yet. He adores it. He starts racing to the door when he sees it, as cart=outdoors=ball. We both love it!"
