Design Advantages of Eddie's Wheels TM
Didy's story - Before and After
- A cost effective option for handicapped pets that restores quality of life to both pet and owner. House friendly design will not damage your home or furniture.
- The easy opening yoke makes placing even the largest pets into a cart quick and simple.
- Eddie's Wheels carts support the pet on its skeleton, not on the soft tissue of its legs, thereby preventing chafing and decubital ulcers.
- No girth straps and therefore, no weight or stress put on the spinal column.
- The pet stands in a normal posture with no bars to interfere with taking a normal stride, and no overhead hoops to confuse your pet's sense of space.
- Optional stirrups, for paralyzed pets, move with any residual movement of the pet's forward stride to eliminate chafing. Stirrups can be removed as the pet rehabilitates.
- Non-absorbent closed cell foam padding on the saddle and yoke do not cause pressure sores from rubbing.
- Gender specific saddles insure males and females can relieve themselves while in the cart.
- All optional equipment, including upgrades to counterbalance (for pets with weak front leg strength), counterweights (for amputees), training wheels (for pets needing additional front
balance) and full-scale quad front wheels can be retro-fitted to any standard rear wheel cart.
- All aluminum construction with machined fittings, stainless steel hardware and angled wheels for added stability – Eddie's Wheels have set a new standard in mobility carts for pets.

Didy's Story - Before and After
Before:
Hallo Ed and it's team,
First of all I would like to introduce our poodle Didy and myself. Didy is a 4 year old mini poodle who came from Spain. There he lived on the street and the situation around his disability is unknown. He came to Holland with a partial paralysis of the hind legs. His left back paw is amputated at the shoulder. Reasons for that are also unknown. At present he is still recovering from the trauma and will always keep some nervousness. His disability is permanent. Didy has been given a wheelchair but this has a few problems. The strap under his front paws irritate the skin in his armpits. The wheels are constructed of solid rubber and the whole frame has no suspension. I also feel that the chairwheels are too big so that the frame tilt forward. The wheels drag through sand and Didy cannot mount the pavement without help. The chair may be sufficient for now but I would like to have so much better for this lovely little dog. Didy is also doubly incontinent and wears a nappy (diaper) when he's at home. He cannot support himself at all on his back legs. Didy is quite strong in his front legs and can lift his whole body of the floor supporting himself only on his front paws. My name is Joyce Malone and I am its owner with higher ambitions for this little thing.
Thanks for reading and/or responding to the e-mail. I am looking forward to hearing from you,
Overseas Greetings,
Joyce Malone

After:
Hallo Leslie,
I have just collected Didy´s wheelchair from the post office and unwrapped the tiny, lightweight cart. We were absolutely pleased with it and Didy thought so too as he pee'd all over the floor with excitement. It is a revelation from the cumbersome chair he has had before to this fantastically pink mean machine that has taken its place. ...I am so impressed with the ease in which he moves about and no longer gets stuck behind all sorts of obstacles. It is lightweight and he does gather some speed in his new roller. All we need to try out now is the woods, the beach and the highest mountain in Holland! We thank you once more and wish you lots of success with your business!
Greetings from Dutchland,
Joyce
