My Symphony Of Life Episode# 19 - Interview with Leslie Grinnell Of Eddies Wheels (Mobility Carts For Disabled Animals)
My Symphony Of Life 19 My featured guest on this show is Leslie Grinnell of Eddie’s Wheels (www.eddieswheels.com). This episode is in memory of Daisy and you’ll hear more about her in this show. Many of you know that I love animals. With that being said, I’m an animal Advocate. I’m always staying updated to what’s going on with animals. Over the past 20 years, Leslie has personally cared for a succession of disabled dogs including Buddha, Hardy (a Doberman with Wobblers), Autumn (a Dobe with spondylosis), Toby (Rotti mix with torn ACLs), Nick (boxer with spinal fracture), and Nelix (a 3 legged cat). Founder, Eddie built his first dog cart for Buddha, his companion Doberman in 1989. A mechanical engineer by trade, he brings his lifetime experience as mechanical designer, welder and inventor to the task of designing mobility cart that supports pets in a bio-mechanically sound way. What they offer: Standard Rear Wheel Cart- For pets with normal strength in their front legs and shoulders, who need assistance in the rear Carts are sized by dog’s weight, age, activity level, and exercise terrain Optional stirrups available for dogs with neurological deficits that cause foot dragging or knuckling Neutral-Balanced Carts-
Fully Counterbalanced Carts
The Variable Balance Cart
Removable Saddle Option The removable saddle option is available for dogs for which lifting the dog into a cart is difficult or painful.
They also offer Hospital Equipment.In the ten years that Eddie’s Wheels has been building custom mobility carts for disabled animals, we have personally evaluated, measured and fitted hundreds of disabled animals for their carts. We have noticed the dramatic change that occurs when an animal is properly supported on its pelvic floor in a healthy normal stance. I hope that you’ve enjoyed My Symphony Of Life- Pet’s - Barkussions.
