"Amos's wheels arrived with the snow in Feb. Since then he has walked on average 4/5 miles a day in all weathers and over all types of ground. He had a great time on the beach until he dug a hole and his wheel got stuck in it! He has adapted really well and is quite happy. Well worth the purchase." Chris Miranda

"I am pleased to tell you that we have success, as soon as we tried the larger saddle, Fay was much more comfortable and has gained much more confidence. Over the last two weeks we have increased Fay's exercise from just up the field to going onto the road. We are now taking her and our other dog in the car then going for a short walk with them both - fantastic, Fay is wagging her tail and is full of confidence and really striding out. I would like to thank you for your assistance and patience. The wheelchair has given my dear dog a new lease of life and she is generally much brighter and is definitely enjoying herself." Many thanks again, Sian and Fay

"Received the wheelchair Tuesday. Fits. Shanny was amazing. She took to it straight away. Her steering needs work, but her propulsion doesn't. Everytime someone moves the wheelchair she sits up ready to go. There is only one problem, it takes up most of the back seat in my car. Are well, as long as my newphew has room to sit. We started off in the living room, then Shanny headed straight for the front door. A short lap of the pathway outside followed. She looked so relieved and happy. We have since taken her to the small park near us. She is quiet happy to sniff and walk around. I had to pull her back from the huge muddy puddle that she generally sits in. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We hope to try it out on a short family visit to the local country park on Monday. I am aware though that she probably wants to cover more ground than she is able at the moment. So I will have to hold her back and go gently." Kindest regards, Anne-Marie Gill and Shanny

"We tried Amber in her chair over the weekend - about 2 miles on Saturday and 3 miles on Sunday (she could only manage 1/2 mile on her own before the chair). She loves it and is already trotting along quite merrily down what used to be her favourite country tracks. The chair is filthy already - it had a thorough mud and water test on Sunday!" Thanks again Mike, Lisa and Amber (Hampshire)

"Holly, our ten-year-old Boxer who has D.M., was introduced to her cart when her rear legs were no longer supporting her. She took to the cart immediately and it has opened up enjoyable life for her once more, with one or two half hour walks each day over undulating grass paths or the beach. She is very interested in everything she encounters and eager to meet other dogs and owners. With her feet protected to avoid the ground rubbing the knuckles (part of the D.M. condition) she paddles her rear legs as she walks and in consequence rear leg muscle trim is good. She is able to urinate and pass motions normally without soiling the harness or cart. With a steadying hand on the frame it is possible to negotiate short flights of steps. The cart has been a blessing to Holly and has given her a new lease of life when the outlook seemed rather hopeless." Revd. Dr David Lloyd (Dorset)

"Tara is still enjoying a new lease of life with her cart. We actually have 3 German shepherds, one young and boisterous and two old ladies. Tara, who is coming up to 10 yrs old, had developed arthritis in her front right leg. So when she appeared to be having problems with her back legs, we mistakenly thought that old age was catching up on her. However at booster time, our vet was certain it was a nerve problem. She also, amongst other suggestions and comments on quality of life, asked if we'd considered a cart. The internet was heavily consulted that evening. We new nothing of CDRM or DM as the Americans describe the condition, and apart from seeing a small dog with double foreleg amputations on a homemade skateboard style support we also did not know that bespoke disability aids for animals existed. Our dog walking routine was to take the youngster out for an hour, and then drive the 2 old ladies to a nearby lane or field, and let them wander for the 15 minutes or so it took them to get tired. As Tara's condition progressed, these walks had reduced to no more than 30metres (she would end up dragging herself along on her bottom). The other old lady is 13 yrs old, and her fitness had subsequently suffered. Now Tara can charge about at will and the 13 yr old's fitness has improved to match. As you've seen from my original Email, Tara took to the cart immediately. The only stubbornness we've had is a complete unwillingness to walk on a lead whilst in the cart, so she charges about with reckless abandon, we all have the bruises to show for it. The reasons I chose Doggon: Rugged appearance and large wheels (Tara loves to go across rough country) The cart design enables Tara to make maximum use of the remaining ability of her hind legs (this may slow progression of her condition). The cart was available in the UK and not shipped from the USA. Without the cart, Tara's quality of life would be much poorer." Derek Shipp

"Remy loves his 'chariot', the only problem we have is getting him into it as he gets so excited, plus slowing him down when he is in it. He frequently runs over our other dog if she doesn't get out of the way quick enough. It has made a tremendous difference to his quality of life and though he is 12 years old he is still healthy and happy now that he can get out." Sylvia Burton

"It will be three years in August since Kloe was given just a week to live and we were under terrible pressure to have her put to sleep from the Vet. Kloe had suffered a 'stroke' in her back. A blood vessel had burst, and flooded her spinal cord rendering her paralysed from the waist down. Kloe was in danger of creeping paralysis if we kept her alive, making her whole body useless. We decided to make her last few days as happy as we could by bringing her home from the vet and letting her pass away surrounded by her family, canine and human. As you can see, this did not happen, and thanks to your wonderful cart, Kloe leads a full and happy life. She gets around the house by pulling her back legs behind her and either walking on her front legs or bunny hopping. Her one bit of misery was seeing the other dobes go off into our fields on their walks, she desperately wanted to join them. With your cart she does exactly that. It is wonderful to see her trotting along with the other dobes, your cart moves so easily on the grass, she has no problem at all. We are as happy as we can be for Kloe. your cart has made an unbelievable difference to her life and assured us that we made the right decision in bringing her home from the vet. She is ten years old and looking very fit for a dog that was so ill. Many thanks," Pam, George and family Whitby, N. Yorks

"Shortie says: Had my little cart for over 2 years now and I don't know what I would do without it. Owners say: These Doggon Wheels carts are super little devices. Lightweight, durable and to a well thought out design."

"Just to let you know that Millie's chariot is a resounding success. I am amazed at how quickly she adapted to it. Her confidence increased each day and by the fifth day she was going 'off piste' along the woodland paths, calmly waiting for me if she got caught up on any tree seedlings etc. She has happily romped around the her doggy friends and the human ones are learning to watch out when she wraps the wheel around their legs! Her walking pattern has also improved so that I have not had to pad the frame and for the last couple of days she has stood quietly waiting for me to put her into it. Thank you so much for your time and care in fitting her out and for enabling her to have a much happier future in her senior years." Best Wishes, Joan and Millie
