Haute Wheels Dog Wheelchair
Ambra Bongiovanni
Best purchase ever made

This product changed my dog's life and mine. She had a car accident when she was just 3 months old. she survived but ended up with a spinal injury that makes her walk so hard and painful. She's now able to walk farest distances with the wheelchair and improved her general posture even when she's not using it. The quality of the product is very high and so easy to wear and unwear. I've been looking for so long for a product like this and we can't be happier and grateful for it. In the video you can see her right after wearing it for the first time.

Hi Ambra,

This is so amazing to hear! Thank you for sharing your dog's story and the video! Look at her go! This melts our hearts to see! We hope the wheelchair continues to help with her posture and keep making her happy. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Please let us know if you ever have any questions about the wheelchair, happy to help!

Customer relations

I received the braces and immediately started to see the benefit of our dog wearing them. We quickly notice that the braces were a little small and AOC is working with us to make sure we have the right fit and have already shipped me a new pair with no cost to us. Thank you AOC !!

Hi Nic,

We are so happy to hear your dog is doing well with the braces and hope the new pair works much better! We always want to ensure the braces are fitting correctly and to see if any modifications are needed to offer the correct support. Please let us know if you ever have any questions about the braces, happy to assist!

Best,
AOC

Gnawty Bites - Joint Flex - Hip & Joint Support with Glucosamine
Vicki Wagonis-Bryers
Love Gnawty Bites Joint flex

I love the Gnawty Bites joint flex for my dogs. Especially Daisy, she had a torn ACL and the vet said to do surgery. We opted to go with Animal Ortho for a fitted leg brace. Daisy wore that for 18 mos and is now pain free and healed from the tear. Amazing company to work with us to get the best fit for our dog.
Now the Gnawty Bites, Joint Flex, are keeping my pups joint moving and pain-free. That is huge for a loved one in the family. Yep, our dogs are part of the family and my fur grandbaby!

Hi Vicki,

Wow this is so awesome! This melts our hearts to hear. Thank you for the kind words! We are so happy your dog did well with the brace and is all healed! Our Gnawty Bites Joint Flex are always a great option to add in some extra flexability and motion to the joints. To us, dogs are always a part of the family! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Please let us know if you ever have any questions, happy to help!

Embed Blanket
Jeff fosse
Embed blanket with EMS device fantastic

The combination of the Embed blanket and EMS device allowed targeted placement of treatment on Roxy’s rear legs and hips. She is gone now but her mobility definitely improved before she passed. My only wish is that we had known about the treatment months before.

Hi Jeff,

We are so sorry to hear about Roxy passing away. We hope our blanket and device allowed for her to be more comfortable and helped improve her mobility. Thank you for leaving us a review. Please let us know if you ever have any questions, happy to help!
