	The first dog we fit with a new K-9 Cart! We thought an over 100 lb Newfoundland would be quite a challenge, especially since this dog had not walked in a year.

	Corgis do especially well in carts. Most corgis will adapt almost instantly to a cart and begin herding again without any encouragement.

	Rabbits are more tricky to fit, especially an amputee.

	We can fit cats too! Some cats will require more adjustment to a cart than the average dog. But that's why we love cats. This older cat was originally fitted with a two-wheeled cart, but needed the extra support in the front end.

	Here is Chessie that is glad to have his mobility back. We're still waiting for that picture of him swimming in the Chesapeake Bay.

	Doesn't she look gorgeous in her cart?

	It is an unfortunate incident when rabbits kick out and break their backs. However, with a K-9 cart your beloved pet can remain a member of the household. While we don't fit rabbits frequently, they may take some adjustment to their cart.

	We see a number of German Shepherds with degenerative myelopathy that do well in two-wheel carts. Sometimes they will start in a two-wheel cart and move to a four-wheel cart as the disease progresses. Our carts are uniquely designed to enable the addition of front wheels with minor modifications.

	Forelimb amputees are less commonly fitted with a K-9 Cart and do best if they can come to Oxford, MD for a custom fitting since each amputee is slightly different.

	Dachshunds, who are paralyzed in the hindlimbs - often due to thoracolumbar disc disease, are one of the most frequent animals that we fit in carts. Because they readily adapt to carts, one should slowly introduce them to their carts so that they can rebuild muscle strength and tone.

	This is a case of BDLD ("big dog/little dog"). This poor Yorkie ended up not doing well when attacked by a much bigger dog resulting in some permanent brain damage. This Yorkshire Terrier had a permanent head tilt and balance problems, but was able to get around in a K-9 cart. The lightweight design is especially important for these toy breeds.

	This dachshund demonstrates how smaller dogs will rest in their cart. They naturally figure out what to do when you give them a pillow or a dog bed.

	Here is another German Shepherd demonstrating why this size cart is our most popular after the small dachshund cart.

	Yes, that is a chicken in a cart. We have also provided carts to this farm rescue in upstate New York. While most of our four-footed friends can do well in the grass, this rooster was able to ambulate better over hard ground.

	Terriers are not fitted frequently, but do well despite their "terrier fire."

	K-9 Carts also work well for bassetts. You can tell that he's back to his typical bassett self with his nose leading the way!

	Rusty is another mix that looks just as good in his cart from above as the side.

	This pug demonstrates that K-9 carts can be fit to dogs in all sizes and shapes.

	Rottweiler's who develop degenerative myelopathy benefit from a two-wheel cart.

	Tricky may not chase squirrels in her new cart, but she sure enjoys watching them on TV.

	This black lab travels over 3 miles a day in his cart in the woods. His owner can barely keep him still for the photo!

	Even in a cart, this Champion German Shepherd has poise and class.

	Toby is shown in his 2nd K9cart as he outgrew his first wheelchair. Toby was quite a challenge to fit since he has one rear leg locked in extension and the other leg in flexion. "Save the Strays" sought out a cart for Toby. But in a cart, nothing stops him.
