The K-9 Cart Co East October Newsletter

Welcome to our October newsletter
K-9 Cart on YouTube!

Unlike our slow adoption of social networking, K-9 Cart East celebrates our 3rd year of being on YouTube this month. While we have many movies in our Video Vault at www.k-9cart.com, we like the ability to share our videos with a worldwide audience on YouTube.  Also, we can take advantage of the high definition movie feature without tying up bandwidth on K-9Cart.com. Finally, we invite you to share our videos on the K9Carts YouTube Channel.  Please leave positive comments and favorite videos that you like. K-9 Cart Youtube Channel

Featured Product: K-9 Cart Flag!
Pimp your K-9 Cart Dog Wheelchair

 

K-9 Cart Flag You asked for it, and now we have it.   Everyone would like to personalize their K-9 Cart dog wheelchair for their pet.  So to make those rolling wheels more visible, we have put our traditional logo "happy dog" on a bright red flag that easily attaches with a 2 foot plastic whip to your cart.   And to celebrate our new flag, we are sending out flags free with all new cart orders for the next 6 weeks.  If you want to retrofit your cart with a flag, the cost is a nominal $2 plus shipping.  Click here to order a flag online or search for it yourself under our "Wheelchair Extras" product link.

K-9 Cart Health News:
Degenerative Myelopathy Testing

Over the past year, there have been an explosion of information about genetic testing for degenerative myelopathy or DM.  Did you know that:

  • DM is a neurologic disease that often causes hind leg problems that can mimic disc disease or arthritis?
  • DM was recognized over 35 years ago, but initially only in German Shepherds dogs (GSD)?
  • The most commonly affected breeds are Boxers, Corgis, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, and Chessies after GSDs?
  • Genetic testing in these 5 breeds is free, but requires a small blood sample submitted by a veterinarian ?
  • Anyone who suspects DM may submit a simple mouth swab test containing DNA?
Want to know more?  Then visit our full blog with details about what DM is, how to diagnose it, and whether a K-9 Cart dog wheelchair is right for you.  Due to our veterinary expertise, K-9 Cart East is also pleased to announce that we have paired with the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals to provide DM genetic testing kits to our wheelchair and handheld sling clients that want to find out whether their dog is affected.  Still have questions, call us at 866-K9-Carts to speak with us.

 

K-9 Cart Movie Start:
While all our pets are stars, a few have made the News...

We always love your pictures and videos and wish there was more room in our newsletter to include them all. Please keep sending them and we will add them to our Video Vault, Testimonials, and Photo Gallery.  Also, watch  the Hot Deals, K-9 Cart Owners, and News portions of our Forum to see about special offers.  (As a sneak peak, we will be offering a coupon in the next few weeks to owners who review their product online. Just in time for those holiday gift giving.)

This month's stars both made the evening news.  Becky, a forelimb amputee, was featured on Central News.  See Joe talk about Becky in our video vault. Our second star, Milo, was featured on CBS21's series called, "Living Well with a Disability."  See Milo and Deb's full interview here.  Milo is certainly the first 4 legged disablity featured on this show.  Kudos!
