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...

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. I cannot thank you enough for being "big enough" to refer me to Cathy at WalkaboutHarness....She has been fantastic....We are going to go to some ventilated boots which she will be making on Monday....These photos should make you smile and give you a "Halo" for referring us. First two photos ...963 and 964 ...are of the right paw which was the really bad...

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,...

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...

We received the back harness for our dachshund on Sat., Febr. 7 and it seems to work great. Ginger has not been able to walk since April & this enables her to be a 'dog' again & get some exercise. Thanks so much...Marsha Kjar, Iowa

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

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

Hello Cathy, It has been awhile since we last emailed regarding Jazmen. The darling juvenile chewed the bootie to shreds. We decided to wait until she passes her puppy stage before attempting the bootie again. We have full intentions of fitting her when she is older because the bootie really makes a difference in how she walks and runs. You would be surprised to see her now, even though she is getting heavier, her limp is not as noticeable. I believe that one big toe has become very strong and developed some good scar tissue. Jazmen runs like a champ...

Aloha Cathy, I wanted to thank you for my Chinese Crested Tosh's walkabout. She is only 5 lbs. and has the use of 1 leg, on her good days. With the walkabout she is able to take care of her needs. We even uses it as a brace for her back and it supports her when we pick her up. She wears her walkabout most of the time and can even be seen walking the park (swinging really) or just hanging off my shoulder as a purse. Cathy, we would not be able to keep her with out the walkabout....

material (like a wet suit) is stretchy, strong and comfortable. It is easy to move your dog around even with a large dog (and I am a not so young female with a huge dog). They can go to the bathroom with it on and you can support them to do so. It is easy to clean and dries fast. It is easy to put on and to use.  I have tried the Bottoms Up Leash which was worthless on my 120 pound dog a few years ago as it just pulled his legs apart and made it harder or impossible...
