Duke

Hi Cathy, I just wanted to let you know the we received the Walk-a-bout harness for Duke and it has been a Godsend! Not only is it helping him to use his legs, but it's saving MY bac kas well. Duke feels like he's regained some of his freedom with the help of the harness. He's even running using it! Thank you so much for your help.Your advice about the size was right on. Had I gone with the medium, it would have been way too large. Hopefully we won't have to use it for long!  Gratefully, Donna DeGrau

Temple Ranch Hand

Cathy,  I want to thank you for a great product.  In short, I had a 12 year old black lab that had nerve damage in his spine due to years of hunting, which led to his rear legs not working.  My wife found your products online and we began to use the harness on him.  We rehabilitated him three times over a year and a half.  If it wasn’t for your product I would have been forced to put him to sleep the first time he lost the use of his rear legs.  You made his last 2 years of life...

Hoppy the Yorky

Happy “Hoppy” wasn’t always this happy. He was an abused, neglected little guy found wandering the streets of Manhattan, rescued from a shelter by Save a Yorkie Rescue, and transported to a foster home in Pennsylvania until we adopted the little guy. It has been a year Aug. 8th since we brought Hoppy home. It’s been a struggle at times, as Hoppy has a lot of traumatic and fearful memories to overcome. But with a lot of prayers, a new helpful, caring friend (Debbie Winkler, Animal Behaviorist), and a lot of perseverance, Hoppy is making remarkable progress. Somewhere during the...

Otto the HUGE Dane

Attached are photos of Otto that I took this afternoon. This results after only two and 1/2 weeks are amazing. We have gone through so many attempts with my poor Otto this past year and one half.

First two photos ...963 and 964 ...are of the right paw which was the really bad...

Thank you for more quality time with our boy

I have been meaning to write to tell you what a lifesaver your rear harness has been as we have been caring for our dog who suffered aspinal stroke last year. Initially, we tried other harnesses, but your product has been the easiest and safest one by far for us to use. It has allowed us to assist him with all of his mobility and I don’t know how we would have managed without it. I just wanted to say thank you for a great product thathas allowed us to have more quality time with our boy. Sincerely, Tambi RondinoneLittleton,...

Corky in Kalamazoo

Dear Cathy & the Walkabout Staff,Our 11-1/2 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Corky, was diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy late in the fall of 2001.  By early 2002, he could no longer use his back legs and was dragging himself around.  I was trying to walk him by holding his back legs like the handles of a wheelbarrow, and my  husband was carrying him in and out of doors.  We were both suffering from  back pain, and Corky was miserable, overweight, and very depressed.Through a link from the K-9 Carts website, we discovered the Walkabout  Harness.  We started using it on...

Bravo, the St. Bernard

Hi - Bravo asked me to write and thank you for his new back harness. I purchased it a couple of weeks ago from Handicapped Pets.Com. Using it he can now go outside and enjoy the sunshine and the snow. It also helps him to be clean. With its use he is now regaining the use of his hind legs - not an easy feat for a 175 pound St. Bernard. Thank you very much for helping to restore his life. John & Dorothy Grasso (and Bravo

Sandy the Snow Dog

Just thought you'd like to know that I got the boot on Sat. We had a good storm on Mon and she got to have a true test with it. I have to do the velcro pretty tight but it fits and isn't coming off in the snow. I'm sending a picture for you to see. Thanks, Katie
