 "Sadly most unexpectedly we lost Woolly at 21.00 on Sunday night (6/08/06). Gratefully he went peacefully just after we put him to bed with Thumper. He had got his kisses and hugs from us both.We would both like to say a big thank you to you. Had it not been for you and Doggon' Wheels then Woolly would not have enjoyed the Independence he had for the last 16 months, I'm sure without his cart the mobility he did have in his legs would have got far worse for him. We have been sitting here thinking about him both pre and post cart. The strongest memories are those obviously in his cart. We can still see (and hear) him doing the tour of his garden, getting up and down steps and giving us a knowing look when he needed a hand. Today is a "Woolly Day" with nice warming sunshine. He would now be sitting on the deck feeling the warmth of the sun rays. He would get so agitated after his morning bath as we would take him out to the garage. He knew that it was time to get "mobile" and run us and Thumper over in the process. Had he not had his cart then on a day like today at most he would have had to be in a run on the lawn, not choosing where HE wanted to be rather us choosing for him. If the same situation was presented to us again then we would not give a second thought to getting him a cart. Our only regret is that we didn't find out about it sooner. We from the bottom of our hearts and Woolly's thank you for providing a means to give him a quality of life that would have otherwise escaped him. Happily now he no longer needs his cart as he has regained his own unaided hoppin & boppin capability on the other side. Deepest Warmest Thanks," | ||

 "... Please find attached photo's of Naz, our dobie, on his wheels as promised! He is 9 now, and a diagnosed wobbler, which basically means the messages from his brain do not reach all the way down his spine to tell his back legs to move. He can still walk, although only for very short periods, but he often falls down because his back legs aren't stable.....but with his wheels on, he's like Michael Schumacher! He's totally unfazed by them, and actually sprints now, so much so, that we have to coax him to go a bit gently, just in case he gets too carried away and then ends up with sore legs for days on end! It is absolutely fantastic to be able to take him on a walk and watch him cut about with no problems whatsoever. They really have improved his quality of life, and we are so thankful to you Carol for very kindly helping us fit them to a tee. They are so light and nothing gets in his way. He's up and down pavement kerbs with ease, and we just think they're fabulous. We first saw the carts in a copy of "Your Dog" magazine, and then I looked up your website to read up on them further. We are so glad we found them! Thanks to all for such a great invention, and excellent customer service! Best wishes," | ||

 "I have been meaning to send photos of Maggie playing football in her wheelchair for a while now, she has really taken to it and loves getting out and going up the park. Thank you," | ||

| "Ted's wheelchair arrived today, he's took to it like a duck to water! Because he was familiar with the saddle you sent last week, as soon as we put onto the frame he associated with outdoor activity. He let us fit him up with no problems whatsoever and basically took of into the sunset with a real smug look on his face, saying, 'Look at me I can walk again!'. We'd just like to thank you, its perfect, he has a new lease of life now, and hopefully for many more years now. We'll sent some photos later, and maybe a mini video. Thanks again & speak soon," | ||

 "I apologise for not sending a photo earlier as I promised you one when we came from Bristol to have Buster fitted with his wheels back in May. He gets on really well and has even been swimming in it when down in Devon. This photo was taken today at the local common - he can now get up a bit of a gallop when chasing the ring with Megan. He turns heads wherever we go and everyone is keen to know about his problem and where we got the wheels and to say how great they are.Regards," | ||

 " I thought you may be interested to see how Tess has taken to her 'wheels'.Tess has CDRM, and having the wheelchair allows us to take her out in safety. Her legs are mucky as she had been trying to catch some of the pheasants the local farmer has just released in the field at the back of our place. Many, many thanks for the chair, it has improved all our lives. Best wishes" | ||

| "I just wanted to thank you so much for pursuading us not to have [Chappie] put down when his back legs went due to CDRM. As you know we did have to have him put down because of a twisted stomache one month after recieving the wheelchair, but I can't thank you enough because we got got an extra month with him we wouldn't of had if not for the wheelchair. As he wasn't able to do as much we paid extra special attention to him and he knew it! He lapped it up!!! He had a really happy life and a happy last month as well! As for the wheelchair I can't recommend it enough,he took to it so quickly and even dragged himself over to it when we said walk! Thanks again for our extra time with him, it meant so much." | ||

 "Max was 15 on August 10th 2005. He has had treatment for arthritis and neurological problems which have affected his back legs for about 6 months, although he still had 2 walks each day. Then suddenly on 18th November on his evening walk, the use of his back legs went completely. Over the weekend our vet injected a different anti-inflammatory for 2 days, then a steroid injection for 2 days, unfortunately with little effect although there were signs of the legs becoming less limp. In the mean time on Monday 21st the vet gave us your web address and we ordered the wheelchair. On Thursday 24th it arrived, a fantastic service considering that you were let down by parcelforce and it should have been a day earlier. Max got used to the saddle harness for the first day and on the second day tried the wheelchair. Being a Golden Retriever he took it all in his stride as it were and after two days was having his 2 walks a day again, but at a much quicker pace. He really enjoys his walks in the wheelchair as he has always been such an active dog. Thank you so much for helping us to give him a new lease of life as every walk he takes is a bonus. Also it would have been so difficult for us to manage a 5 stone dog without any way of lifting or mobility.Best wishes and good luck with your products." | ||

 "Bow is an 8 year old German Shepherd he has always been a very active dog. At 5and a half he sustained a Gracilis Contracture to his right hind leg, done whilst chasing a ball and slipping on grass. Although a uncommon injury after much research into different methods including surgery there was no proven treatment. We did try physiotherapy, Hydrotherapy and even a muscle stimulator. Although this injury left him with a slightly strange gait he was otherwise unaffected.About 12 months ago he was diagnosed with CDRM which has obviously worsened, strangely leaving his left hind leg the weakest. In every other way he is a happy healthy dog who appears unaware that his back legs no longer work. It was a hard decision to make as to whether to get him a cart but I can honestly say it has given him his active lifestyle back, without it he would be unable to walk. It’s great to see him running and playing with other dogs and his beloved ball. Many people have enquired as to the nature of Bow's illness and from where the cart came. He has become quite a celebrity on the beach. A lady even asked about a cart for her rabbit the other day so I passed on your website details. Many Thanks," | ||

 "We are now getting on much better with the wheelchair and go out for a mile (or two miles) twice most days. The fleecy 'socks' allow Tippi maximum freedom to move her back legs and, although they won't take her weight now, she does move them a lot while in her cart (in what must be the accustomed 'walking' motion). So even her back legs are getting some exercise. And she is manifestly much happier now that she is getting more exercise in general.Having been a fanatically sociable dog all her life, she also loves the attention her wheels get her. She is quite a looker and, all her life, she's been accustomed to complete strangers stopping us in the street and saying she's the most beautiful dog they've ever seen - and generally cooing over her. We also live on a beautiful coastline which is quiet in the winter . . . . . .except for Xmas week - so every walk has taken us hours after being stopped by Tippi's adoring public every few yards. We've given out your details to several people who have big dogs (or know people with big dogs) who might just be showing early signs of weakness in the hindquarters. Thank you for talking to Terry before Christmas and do feel free to refer anyone to us if you get enquiries from giant dog owners who are anxious and unsure if this could work for them (as we were only a few weeks ago). We'd be glad to help if it could give anyone else even a few extra quality weeks/months with their dog. Happy New Year!" | ||
