“Hockey came with another bunny from the same litter and from the moment they came home, she was the dominant and more curious of the two. She quickly began exploring her new home and spent many, many hours hopping onto her owner, Betsy, and helping her study. When the warm weather came, Hockey and Benji moved outdoors to a large pen. In September, Hockey was found lying immobile in the pen. It was determined that she had broken her back.
Hockey’s cart arrived within days of its order and Hockey LOVED it from the first minute. Within days she was back to her old ways, running up to people for petting, cuddling with her dog and cat, and making a general mess with her food bowl. She could build a nest with towels dragged into a pile in her mouth and hide under things again. She could easily groom the front of her body and spent hours drizzling water on her feet and cleaning them. In many ways she developed into an unbelievably precious pet due to her spinal cord injury because she lost the side of being a rabbit which runs away and hides, instead developing her social qualities. - Liz Fukisuima |

Fritz is a 5 ½ year-old dapple half-mini, half-full Dachshund that has always been very active. He used to go trail running with me and in hindsight, that was a really bad idea but he loved it so much. About four months ago, he suddenly could not move his back legs. We took him to the 24-hour emergency clinic in San Rafael, CA, where they just happen to have a surgeon, Dr. Nielsen, whose specialty is spinal cord injuries in small dogs. She was hopeful that he would make a complete recovery but within a couple of days after surgery, it was apparent that he probably wouldn’t. The first thing I ordered for him was a Protect-A-Pet and it was exactly what he needed. He quickly wore a hole in it so I sent some Duratex and you made a custom one. Last week I ordered two more, they are definitely the most useful (besides his cart) product he uses. Within the last few weeks, Fritz has wagged his tail a couple of times so he may be getting some nerve control back. He is going to go back and visit Dr. Nielson soon for a checkup. He’s definitely still as happy a dog as ever!
Thanks again!

| Snoopy |

“When the going got tough, Snoopy the courageous Weenie dog got wheeling! Snoopy, who is a ten-year-old standard Dachshund comes, equipped with all the common features except for his two-wheel drive. He is often spotted sporting around Virginia Beach streets, beaches, and boardwalk in his custom-made Pet MRC pet wheelchair. Snoopy is a very happy dog that has not missed a beat since becoming disabled and enjoys life with no barriers.
Upon arrival of his cart, Snoopy started to utilize it with very little hesitation. Snoopy easily built up his stamina and was a quick learner on how to maneuver his cart. His quality of life had been restored due to the cart and his happy go lucky attitude proved to be a winning combination that would lead to a brighter future. Snoopy’s bathrooming needs were restored due to stimulation enhanced by using his cart for mobility.
Almost one year after Snoopy’s surgery, he faced another hurdle. He developed another herniated disc in his cervical area and once again had surgery to rectify the decompression. Snoopy’s surgery was a success and he immediately recovered. Within weeks, Snoopy was able to utilize his cart without any difficulties. |

“As you can see, Gloria is walking, and running, on her own. We got the cart about 5 weeks after her stroke and she was standing with help and trying to walk about 10 days after starting to use the cart. With a dog her size, the cart was an absolute necessity – it helped her get her balance and learn to hold her body upright so she could learn to walk. In several more weeks, she was getting around on her own. She still drags the left feet a bit and has some difficulty getting up, but she’s completely independent now – a truly amazing animal! Thank you for providing a unique and indispensible product!”

I would like to thank you so much for taking the time and effort to build the 4-wheeler for my “big guy” (90 lbs German Shepherd). I am thankful that you took the time to care and make sure this cart was going to fit him properly, and it did from the first moment he “tried it on”. Thank you!!!
When Beau first got in the cart, he figured Mom would help him out of every “situation” he got into (meaning every ditch and grass clump he came to) and admittedly, yes, she did! But as time went on, I got smart and told Beau to get out of his own situations! He quickly learned how to go from dirt roads onto meadow grass onto hiking paths (fit for wheel carts) and, most importantly, how to get out of the ditches. We haven’t looked back since. We play a tremendous amount of fetch while he is in the cart as well. This is his favorite game and he can play it for hours thanks to the cart!
This cart has given him back his freedom to go for long walks, easy hikes, and play a lot of fetch. I personally can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done for my best friend and for me! We are truly enjoying the “golden years” together. Thank you. – Laura Bevacqua |

| Big Boy |

I'm writing to you about 3 years after we purchased a cart for our Great Dane - Big Boy. To say we feel we got our money's worth is an understatement! From Day 1 when we arrived on the ferry from Seattle he was fitted correctly and he literally RAN through a grassy field to the other property adjacent to your facility. It was so amazing how quickly he adjusted. You could also see the joy on his face as he had some mobility back!
A little background: Big Boy had a rare tumor (donut) growing around his spine and we took the chance and tried to surgically remove it. Unfortunately the end result was partial paralysis. He was unable to stand up, walk or go the bathroom (pee). After speaking with the surgeon he indicated the dog was otherwise very healthy (he was 6 at the time of surgery). We went on the long journey of taking care of a disabled pet - what an adventure. Fortunately being self-employed, I work out of the home and was able to give him the care he needed.
I was always one of those people who would see a disabled pet in a wheelchair and would think "why don't they just put the animal down?" and then it happened to me. I've grown in understanding in leaps and bounds and realize what a personal decision that is. I've remained strong in my conviction that as long as I can care for him, his mood/appetite is up and he's pain free we will continue this journey. Thanks for allowing us to have him around through the use of your product. - Chris Knauer |

| Ellie |

Ellie was born in Santa Ana, California, 10 ½ years ago and I have had her since she was a puppy, just 8 weeks old. Ellie has not changed much in last 10 years, but she has calmed down a lot, from being the hyper spazzy rambunctious pug she used to be! Ellie ate everything made of paper or cotton, dug through the trash cans as a hobby, barked just to hear herself bark, dug up new carpet from the floors, ate drywall, ran in circles to get out the extra energy she had, and kissed absolutely everyone she came into contact with. I have never seen a more loving Puggie ever!
Ellie also had lot of allergies and epilepsy when she was a puppy. The vet said she was allergic to 17 different grasses, mold, dust, and ants, just about everything except fleas. Thank goodness her allergies went away after we moved from California to Washington state 7 years ago. Then Ellie had a slew of sudden health problems that we had to deal with. She had a small mast cell tumor removed from her forearm, which did not spread elsewhere. One day Ellie started to bump into me and the furniture and we discovered she was going blind. I would like to say that her health problems ended at this point but they didn't. One day, about a year ago already, Ellie started to shuffle her hind legs on the ground while we were out on our walks.
I have to really thank my lucky stars that I found Barbara at Pet Mobility Rehab Center, who actually DID diagnose Ellie with DM (Degenerative Myelopathy; human version of MS). There is no cure for DM, just a custom made cart for her and continued TLC. Ellie absolutely adores running, yes running around in her cart. She went from barely dragging her back paws on the ground to running. Her mobility is back, her tail is up, and she is the happiest blind epileptic partially deaf crippled pug you have ever seen!
Even with her various health problems, Ellie remains so strong and so loving. People tell me all the time that "it's time to let her go." But she still has so much life in her, she still lives for cuddling with mommy, eating, sleeping, and of course, kissing! - Diana Dorfman |

Alf is a well-trained film and show animal, as well as a part of the family. He is featured in the small animal show I have in the park, along with my bears and other animals. Alf was in a team of three skunks that race down a track, pushing a ball into a hoop at the end. Late summer, he started having problems with his left hind leg and began to drag himself around. My vet suggested Pet Mobility Rehab Center. Since he has had his cart, he has been able to join in with his other skunk friends, doing skunk fun stuff. His left leg seems a little stronger and he has even taken a few steps with it. His racing days are probably over but I will still bring him to the races so everyone at the show can pet him. He so enjoys being a skunk ambassador.
Thanks for helping this wonderful animal.
