Featured Product: New Ultra-Lightweight Small K-9 Cart!
Yorkie inspires new ultralight dog wheelchair
|
One of the biggest challenges is to build a strong yet lightweight dog wheelchair for pets <10 lbs. We were recently inspired by Dewey, a Yorkie, who suffered from BDLD syndrome. Don't know what BDLD is? BDLD stands for "big dog, little dog." Dewey was viciously attacked by a big dog and became paralyzed in the hind limbs. At only a few pounds, we knew that our standard XS and S K-9 Cart dog wheelchairs needed to be made lighter. We are pleased to announce our new

ultra-lightweight K-9 Cart dog wheelchair for dogs from 1-25 lbs. For dogs 11-25 lbs, the cart weighs <2.2 lbs fully assembled! The cart is still adjustable in length, & width with leg stirrups free-of-charge. Straps to use the leg ring harness as a detachable sling are also available. We know that having a lighter K-9 Cart will be of tremendous benefit for our smaller dogs, cats, and other pets.

We have lots of other ideas in the works that cannot begin to be covered in a single newsletter.
One of the best ways to see new updates is to visit our website at:www.k-9cart.com.
Our blog has articles about K-9 Cart dog wheelchair success stories. Look for an update on degenerative myelopathy including new testing options in the next month. We will also be rolling out some new dog wheelchair designs including an updated adjustable four-wheel front extension...
