I live in Arizona and I was doing some research on my little guys back issues. I came across your very informative website and I must say I'm very grateful for you still being in business today. We're still in limbo if hes going to actually need the support cart because hes a fighter and I want to see if he'll heal up enough to be able to really support himself on his own again. If he takes a turn for the worst you're the first place I'm calling. Thank you for all you do. Keep up the amazing work!

Dr. Parkes was wonderful! We had ordered a cart from online but it was flimsy and we returned it. We found K-9 Cart East online and they couldn't have been nicer when I called. We gave them the measurements of our dog and then we met with Dr. Parkes. They put our dog in the chair and made adjustments until Dr. Parkes felt it was just perfect! The cart was very sturdy and lightweight. I suggest this company frequently.

EDIT: I am currently in communication with the owner about my experience. He is committed to getting to the bottom of this. I bumped them from 1 star to 3 stars. If you experience anything less than 5 star service, I recommend reaching out to the owner ASAP. This company is more concerned with $$$$$ than helping your disabled dog. They will even go as far as going after you for "copy righted" material (wheelchair pictures) people post in dog health forums.

They won't let you sell or give the wheelchair YOU bought to another needy dog unless it is through their company, at least not when they catch wind of it (they have plenty of time to search online in different cities for these things) Disappointed. Shop other dog wheelchair companies, there are better wheelchairs for less money out there. I found the chair to be cheap and easily falls apart, especially for larger dogs.
