Testimonials

  • Mobile Vet Stretcher

    “Madison’s Stretcher Pack is of great use in our mobile veterinary practice. We have been able to lift and move any dog of any weight, even the largest of St. Bernards! This stretcher folds easily and neatly and takes up only a small amount of space in our mobile van.”

    – Dr. Lori Blankenship PhD, DMV, CVA

  • Cradles and Calms

    "The Rescue Pack works very well. Unfortunately, it was put to use for a dog that had been struck by a car and needed veterinary care. The dog was in a lot of pain and wouldn't let anyone near it. The Rescue Pack cradled the dog very well and we were able to get the dog very easily to my truck without getting bitten, which in turn got the dog to the vet much faster."
    – Deputy R. Fincham

  • Mobility Assist

    “We learned firsthand just how valuable a stretcher can be when our lab broke his hind leg and then had to have it amputated due to bone cancer. While he adjusted well to getting around on three legs, his battle with cancer was a rocky road and some days he just didn't have the strength to get outside and back in on his own. We really came to depend on the Madison's Stretcher Pack for getting him in and out as well as for lifting him into the car for rides or vet visits.” – Dog owner

Founder's Story

My name is Trish Bartholomew and I am the inventor of Madison's Stretcher Pack.

On a particularly snowy night several years ago, my dog Madison became extremely ill after eating poisonous plants. Because we were snowed in, I could not take him immediately to the vet. I lay on the floor with him, fearing the worst. Even if I could have made it to the vet, I wondered how I would have carried an 85 pound dog to my car. By the grace of God, Madison made it through the night and I was able to take him to the vet the next morning.

A few weeks after this incident, the concept for what is now Madison's Stretcher Pack came to me in a dream. The next morning I quickly tried to replicate what I had seen in my dream with materials I had in the house.

Today, Madison's Stretcher Pack is patented and is available in two models, the “Original” and “Hiking Buddy.”
