K-9 Cart Co East August 2011 Newsletter

K-9 Cart Co East dog wheelchairs are built with the ability to adjust height, length, and width to obtain a perfect fit.  Dachshunds, Corgis, German Shepherds, and Boxers top our list of breeds that we see most frequently.  When we receive measurements, especially for these breeds, we are pretty good at spotting a measurement that seems incorrect or out-of-whack. Sometimes, however, we get measurements from a rescue, such as the Dachshund Rescue South Florida, and we know the measurements look a bit off.  We know it is frustrating for owners to learn how to adjust their cart.  about the trials and

tribulations of getting dachshund "Pepper's" cart to fit and understand why our carts work so well for rescue organizations.

We have now surpassed our 1,000th follower on twitter. We don't always have time between fittings and answering the phone to tweet as much as we would like, but one learns so much from all our twitter followers. For instance, the other day, we learned that dog noseprints are as unique as people's fingerprints.  Maybe we will start a database of noseprints to catch the

pets that steal the food off the counter!!

Recently, we started a K9 Carts Dog Wheelchair Group on Facebook.  If you want to join the group, please stop by. It is an open group. Post your photos or questions about K9 Carts dog wheelchairs. We also post updates on visitors to our shop in Oxford, MD on our K-9 Cart Company East Fan page.  And don't forget our K9Carts youtube channel either.

We have been searching for some good boots for those dragging paws. We also know the winter cold is not far away. Introducing our new black and blue boot designed for smaller dogs.  The black and blue boots are made of neoprene with a zipper to make them easy to slip on.  A gusset and elastic velcro band keep them on and the snow and rain out.  Add to that a nice sole that encircles  the paws, and we think we have found a winner of a new boot.  As always, the key to a good boot fit is to trace around the paw while your pet is standing on a piece of paper, and use the measurements of the largest width and length to determine the correct size. to order some boots at K-9Cart.com
