Some products that we're thinking about. Lets us know what you think!

• K-9 Carts... I took a workshop with the owner of K-9 Carts and witnessed the fitting of two handicapped dogs with this cart. It was amazing, the dogs were thrilled with a little bit of freedom. We're thinking about starting a custom fitting shop and/or rental program.
  Benefits include:
  
  
  • Excellent rehabilitative aid for encouraging your pet to return to walking on its own.
    
  • Keeps your pet happier and healthier as it is able to exercise and join in family activities.
    
  • Our wheelchair designs encourage leg movement and, in many cases, a return to full rear limb function.
    
  • Your pet is able to urinate and defecate while in the cart.
    
  • Nursing care is easier for the pet owner.
    
  • Stable pelvic support system keeps spine and limbs in alignment and promotes healing.
    
  • Takes stress off the rear legs.
    
  • Your pet can use the cart with its legs either down, in the walking position, or up in the support slings, non-walking position.
    
  • Your pet has the ability to use its rear legs while still being totally supported in the rear.
    
  • Supporting the rear keeps your pet’s front legs stronger.
    
  • Encourages normal leg movement when legs are fully supported in slings.
    
  • Lightweight, eases the strain on your pet.
    
  • Well balanced cart makes motion easier and safer.
    
  
  

  
  

• Help Me Up Harness features both a front and rear harness lift system for owners helping their dogs with mobility issues. I've seen this in use and it seems fabulous and not too complicated to put on.
  
• Double Back Harness is another that has an extra piece to hold the dog's hind end - this one is designed for mountaineering.
  
• Web Master Harness is a great harness to help with mobility - and I've seen this in use a lot with dogs who have a hard time getting up from laying down or who might need a little extra support getting around.
  
• Walkabout Harnesses is another harness that a local SF-Dog person recommended.
