Good morning Bob It is now one month since we visited you and had Tinker fitted with her DogWalker. We both feel that this was a fantastic decision as we now have our old Tinker back. Within a day she was parading along Filey promenade and enjoying all the attention. Now we are back in Ireland she is really enjoying exploring her old haunts - something she had not been able to do for a few months. She can walk and run over all terrain, including the beach which is beside us, and she can also skilfully step up and down kerbs. There was a fun dog show near our home last week and Tinker even received a "Special" award. Many dog owners were intrigued by this wonderful walking aid. Many, many thanks for your help and allowing Tinker to regain her old sparkle. Our fifteen year old terrier now has a new lease of life. Thank you Brenda

Our puppy Doughnut unfortunately broke his spine at birth when his mother sat on him when he was being born. By the time we realised how serious his problems were he was already a part of the family and we decided that we would do all we could for him.

We came across the Dog Mobile Company by chance and whist Doughnut was growing we used the rear harnesses to make sure he had walks and as much time on his feet as possible, both items were ideal. Now that he is fully grown we have the Dog Walker which has given him the freedom he needs to be a puppy.

We hope along with hydrotherapy he'll be walking as best as possible soon but at least we know that he'll be able to run around happily ready for his first birthday.

Thank you to both Bob and Angela for such swift service and providing Doughnut with quality of life he would not have otherwise had. We would recommend Dog Mobile products to anyone.

my dog "taz" slipped a disc totally out of the blue he is only 6 yrs old, it turned our lives upside down, i felt only one option that was to have him put to sleep, this for myslelf was not an option i was willing to take. We found dog mobile by chance, this has know given us our dog back, one day he cannot walk but with dog mobile "taz" is my big playful boy ... but with wheels, he has adapted to them so well, we only have to show him his harness that is also supplied by dog mobile ! once in his harness he knows ... its time to go into his wheels, so he can be himself .. go for a walk & sniff & play !! and most of all be himself, i would like to thank all the people at dog mobile a very big thankyou for giving me "taz" back and fingers crossed he will get better with many many many thanks
Kelly, dawn and most of all Taz xx

I ordered a dog walker for my three legged dog Cassie who had lost the strength in her back leg. When I first got it she hated it trembled and shook at the sight of it, she walked with her head down and looked really distressed. I put it to one side and carried on using a sling to take her on really short walks. I realised I was killing her by not exersising her properly, she is only about 9 ( she was a rescue so we're not sure of her exact age). I got the walker out again and forced her to use it, very short walks every day, after about 4 weeks I noticed that she stopped shivering! She now goes on longer walks all the time, tries to chase squirrels and plays with other dogs. She has a new lease of life thanks to your dog walker. Thank You

Dear bob barleys walker arrived on friday as you promised. He has been for 2 ten minute walks on Friday and 2 twenty minute walks on Sat and Mon, and a 10 minute walk on Sun. He took to it like a duck to water, and has been to places he couldnt manage for 3 months or more. Previously he just walked up and down the driveway(50feet) and looked so miserable. Today he was walking faster than he has in months which would be good aerobic activity for his heart and lungs. He is a wee boy racer and his sister has to leap out of his way. He stands perfectly still to get it on so he must love it as hes very good at letting us know what he likes or doesnt. He is also sleeping better at night, he used to sleep 2 hours, now he sleeps for 4. The harness is fine, it doesnt need adjusting for his tumour. We are over the moon, its made such a difference, and is so well made. Everybody stops to ask about him and where he got it. we are sending a short video of him by separate e mail as its too large for me to send and will forward a better one later. Once again thank you so much for giving a 15 year old labrador a new lease of life. Lydia Greer

Dear Angela Just a note to let you know how Snoopy is managing with her walker. She chased a stick today, picking it up and retrieving it, as she used to. She looked really alert and happy, with her ears pricked. She even barked - the first time since she was ill. The walker has given her a new lease of life - you could say it has saved her life, as it wouldn't have been fair to leave her unable to get around, and go out for walks. Thank you Dogmobile company!!! Best regards Margaret Gove

Dear Bob & Angela Just wanted to thank you again for Idgy's wheels. It's the best money I have ever spent. She is quite a little celebrity in my local park now. Everyone wants to see the dog with the wheels. I have given my local vet two photos of her and she has put them up on her notice board where everyone can see. In fact she said someone was interested in where I got them from so we will have to see what happens. The weather here is beautiful now so we go out for a walk twice a day. She ran around chasing another 3 legged dog the other day, but this one had lost it's leg when it was about 5 months old so can run around quite happily without any aid. Anyway, just wanted to touch base with you again and say how happy you have made me. Kind regards Lavinia Foster

Hi Angela and Bob, I would like to thank you for helping Magic to start walking again! Magic is 17 years old, and his hind legs became very unstable and weak. There was a moment when Magic collapsed and lost control of his hind legs, and that made him and all of us who witnessed the episode very stressed. We went on Internet, and we found your Dogmobile Company. After reading many testimonials we ordered the mobile cart for Magic, and you were very quick and professional delivering it! First days, Magic was a little bit reluctant to use the cart – mainly because he is a very independent character who doesn’t like any additional harnesses being put on him. But later on, after trying his cart in action on Wimbledon Common, Magic liked the sensation of being back to his younger self, running along the fields and through the woods. Bearing in mind that Magic needs 4 walks a day – some of them short, some of them quite long – you can imagine what an amazing change that mobile cart produced! The day Magic was 17, we put the video of him walking with his cart on YouTube, and I also published the video on my Blog! Thank you once again, dear Angela and Bob; I am recommending your Company services to every dog owner who asks me about it. Best regards, Maria

I have today received my Dog Mobile Wheels, and I was absolutely delighted with them. they are made of top quality materials not cheap stuff and what was more than exhilerating was for the first time in a few months my small poodle Iddy Biddy was walking, she may of been trying to walk sideways but she was on her legs and walking, at first my husband and I thought the weight of the wheels might be too much for her to pull as she is around 5 lb but to our great surprise within a minute she was following me around as if she had nothing else she wanted to do and although her first walk pooped her out she walked and that was fantastic. I am now looking forward to her following me everywhere like she used to and I want to thank Bob and Angela for the dedication to helping people like me to get their dogs and other ppets walking again. I will be recommending this site to all the vets in Cheltenham and Gloucestershire as not only the best equipment and value for money but the care and after care this company provides. Thanks guys I am a happy chappy and I know my dog can only improve now.

Dear Bob and Angela, We have had Charlie our JRT, Dog Walker for a few weeks but it’s only today with the weather turning decent that I’ve managed to get him in it and using it. Although apprehensive to begin with he was soon walking with a lead on him, it took me about 30 minutes to get to the top of the road, a distance of only 50yds, not because Charlie was adjusting to his new found freedom, but from the neighbours who know Charlie, coming out to see him once again walking near to normal as he can, they made such a fuss of him that once the fussing was over, he seemed to have a new found spring in his step, so much so that just around the corner I took the lead from him and he was on his own walking with no help from me. We may have a long way to go before Charlie will be chasing and playing with other dogs but with our and Charlie’s determination we will get there. We have had Charlie from 8 weeks old and this disability he has had since being 12 weeks old, he is now coming up to his3rd birthday in July. Normal to Charlie is wobbling and falling over but after seeing a program on television about the disability aids for animals we had no hesitation in ordering one for him to give him a better quality of live. Charlie is a much loved and well looked after beautiful Jack Russell Terrier of ours and is a normal part of our family life even more so now that we will be able to take him out for a longer walk. I would like to take this opportunity to say a very, very big thank you to you both for giving Charlie a new lease of life. Regards Bryan Pegg

Dear Bob, I'm sorry this email is so long overdue. I would like to thank you again for your kind generosity in giving Brucie his wheels. He is a totally different dog these days, as you can see from the pictures. Initially, he was reluctant to take his first steps, but now we can't keep up with him! You're a very kind man. All the best to you, Lucy

Dear Bob and Angela, October 08 I thought my faithful friend Jake a Large Munsterlander would have to be put to sleep, as he had lost the use of his back legs, then I found your website. You were so kind and understanding in my urgent need for a speedy solution that within days, in fact the 6th Nov the walking frame and wheels arrived by Royal Mail. Jake took to the harness and support like a duck to water. In minutes of going through the gate it was as if the clock had been turned back and we were off again on the long walks we used to enjoy. We had a few tumbles as Jake went down kerbs before I did and tried to get into the car with wheels attached. If all the people who asked me for your contact detail did get in touch, there will be many happy dogs and owners out there. Jake became a page 3 dog in the local paper with his wheels and frequent trips to the hydrotherapy pool at Burton Kennels. He even had his own blog for a short while. The vet could not beleive the difference in Jakes spirit that a set of wheels could make and often called him the wonderdog. Sadly all things must come to an end and other problems developed, he had a tumour behind his left eye and on 10th Aug 09 Jake was put to sleep. I want to say a Big Big Thankyou to you both. The last 9 months of Jakes life were happy ones, he loved the attention and enjoyed his walks. Without his wheels!! Thank you

WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY BUT THANK YOU A THOUSAND TIMES OVER,MAGGIES MUM,MARION

This is not an order , but a huge thank you . We bought a harness for our severely dissabled Bassett hound who lost the use of his back legs about 18 months ago and am happy to report that he is now almost back to full fitness , which without your harness we feel he would not have done . A big thanks from 'Arnie ' and us

Bob & Angela - Many thanks for the dog mobile - Lucky thinks it's fantastic ! She can at last go for walks in most terrains now, and has only tipped upside down once when she was getting used to it at Flamborough Head on Saturday ! The problem now is she's always wanting to go out for a run literally. Once again many thanks Graham ( Lincoln )

Dear Bob and Angela, Rosie has now been using her wheels for 10 days and I just can't get over how fantastic they are! It is as though we have turned back the clock at least a year. Before having the wheels, Rosie was constantly falling down on her left side, due to her left back leg beginning to give out. We were having to support her with a soft scarf under her hips and a harness at the front end, making walking very tiring for us and very restrictive for her. On getting the dog walker, she immediately took to it, and obviously appreciated being able to walk unsupported. We were relieved to find that we could walk more normally again, instead of having to concentrate totally on keeping her on her feet. On day 6 however, something remarkable happened. She had been for a 30 minute walk in her walker, came in and had a good sleep. When she woke up, she got to her feet and began walking round the house without falling down at all. She was able to turn round in an anti-clockwise direction, which we had not seen for at least 6 months, and did not fall down while doing so. Her back, which had been a bit humped for some time, appeared much straighter and more aligned. These incredible improvements have remained with her. Sometimes she seems a bit stiff if she has been in the car for a while, but once she has had a walk in her walker she is back to her newfound level of fitness! Obviously, this has been an incredible boost both for her and us; friends are describing it as a bit of a miracle! we had not expected Rosie's actual performance to improve so dramatically, seeing the walker more as something to help her while it is in use, rather than all the time. Rosie is now having 2 long walks a day, of 45 mins, and enjoying every minute. She is happy to walk on the beach again, something she has shied away from for over 12 months. The wheels work very well on all terrains - wet or dry sand, moorland, grass and so on. I have attached some video clips that you might want to add to your website gallery. I will send a second clip in a second email to follow this one. We can't emphasise enough how thrilled we are with the Dog walker. It has totally transformed our lives! Many thanks, Kath Richardson and Rosie

Many thanks for the harness.
Oscar looks forward to his walks again and it's saving my back!
It's great to see him more independent.
Once again ,many thanks
Nick,Bristol

Hi Angela & Bob

Wish you a Happy New Year Angela & Bob. It has been app.3 months now since Ace has been using the Dog Walker & he has regained his freedom & will to join the rest of the dogs. Ace sends over a heartfull thank you.

Dear Angela & Bob,
I'm pleased to say that Carrie has taken to the 'walker' like a duck to water.
We are able to go for longer walks along the beach at Santa Ponsa now.
Carrie has become quite a celebrity as well as she walks down the road.
Her vet is very interested in the 'zimmer frame' as I gave him a photograph of her with it attached to her. He has asked for information and I will give him your email and web addresses.
Maybe you will be able to start to get orders from Mallorca.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you both.

Hi there, earlier in the year I bought a dog mobile from you for my GSD. This was as a result of him having CDRM and losing the use of his back legs. You probably won't remember me from Adam but we had a real long conversation on the phone which convinced me to try out a mobile. Well we did and with a couple of adjustments (added another strap across his shoulders due to his deep chest) 'Spirit' got use to it and there was no stopping him. After just over 6 weeks I was told by the vet that he had become completely reliant on me to help him and that it was time to let him go. This was almost a year after being diagnosed. The reason I write this is that quite literally, the mobile gave him back his legs. For 6 weeks I was able to give him his freedom back and for 6 weeks I was able to give him back his pride. Everytime I went to his mobile it was as good as going for his lead. I know you use photo's to advertise your products and wondered if you could make use of a couple that I have attached here (and/or this email). The photo's are dated within their title and the 210808 one was taken during his last walk, literally just before the vet came out to us. As you can see, he was perfectly alert, happy and content, something that only made my decision even harder. I have since given Spirit's mobile to a lady who works locally, specialising in GSD's with similar conditions. If they are not suitable for you to use then not to worry. Regards, Shaun Letts Aldershot

Hello Angela, The Dog walker arrived safely yesterday afternoon and Sasha has taken to it like a duck to water. She sems to know that it good for her. Thank you your speedy service. I will email a picture later and you are free to use as you wish. Regards, Max

Dear Bob & Angie
Thanks very much for giving me back the mobility which I love so much. I wasn't too sure at first, I think Peter & Lin were a bit nervous, but when I came back to see you and you showed Peter & Lin the easy way to help me get in to my cart it was plain sailing after that. The extra little stirrup you gave me for my right leg is great. If I am feeling a bit weak after swimming I just pop my foot into the strap and off I go. Who said CDRM stops a dogs mobility, it's just not true with great people like you around. Keep up the good work. Thanks, Beauty.

Dear Bob & Angela Many thanks for your hospitality last week, and for making us so welcome. We arrived home safely at about 10.15pm after some lovely fish'n'chips before setting back. I thought that I would let you know how Katy is doing with her wheels. We have been for short walks every evening, and on the next day she went to visit a relative who lives in the same road, something she has not done for almost 6 months now. She sets off like a steam train, but has to stop occassionally; I think when the cooler weather arrives she will be better, and, of course not being able to walk properly for some time, she needs to build herself up. I think the muscles have been 'sleeping' for quite some time, as she did start to refuse to leave the house. When she sees the wheels fetched in from the porch, her face lights up, and she gets very excited, and behaves herself when I put the lederhosen on, instead of trying to bite, which she does when I put the lead harness on. It seems that the mobile has given her the confidence to try walking alone too. Late evening last wee time in the garden, I do not put the mobile on. She is improving the distance she can walk without toppling over, and she is now managing to stand to eat and drink. Before the mobile, she would sit or lie to eat and drink. Mom said we have our Katy back, and she is now a different dog. She is interested in everything that goes on, and has started to bark at the slightest sound again. I have arranged some hydrotherapy sessions at a local dog pool, near to Hall Green Dog track in Birmingham, starting this weekend, so hopefully she will soon be fit again. Thank you for making the wheels; they have given Katy a new lease fo life, and hopefully she will continue to enjoy life. Kind Regards Sue Fullard

Hi Bob

Just to let you know my order was received OK on Thurday.......thank you.

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Alex took to his new aid - no problem.

For a dog that does have a bit of a phobia of wheels (cyles, pushchairs etc), I was a bit anxious that he might not take to a dog walker.
I need not have been concerned.

Anyway - after a couple of trial fittings and adjustments at home - I must have got it right, because he is going about his walk as normal (without colapsing at his back end).

It's just me having the problem - having to untangle him from going under bushes (well some things you can't change after 13 years !)

Alex is probably on borrowed time now - and his back legs won't improve any, but at least now he will get those few additional walks that he might not have had.
He wants to go a walk at the moment - and that's all that matters.

Yes - I am pleased with what the Dog Walker has enabled him to do - however many walks he has left in him - this purchase has already been worth it.

Thank you.

Regards
