Adjustable Pet Wheelchairs Give Animals New Freedom

Dog Carts are for animals afflicted with hip dysplasia, paralysis, arthritis, degenerative myelopathy, intervertebral discs, spinal injury, amputation, or due to any other disease that could have affected their hindmost limbs.

If your beloved pet is powerless to live an agile life because of any of these disabilities, then dog wheelchairs may be the solution to give your pet its much needed freedom. In order for the pets to be able to use wheelchairs, they need to have reasonably strong front legs to aid traction. (The pet ought to be capable of walking with the help of its forelimbs without falling over etc, except if it is caused by being inactive for a long period.) Pets that have weak front legs and were not really normal before their disability, can be better assisted by support harness with straps. With assistance from a wheelchair, your pet can enjoy most of its desired activities like running, walking, playing.

Animals that are limited by their weak rear legs benefit from Dog Carts, which allow them to exercise longer and with higher intensity. The animals that suffer from a degenerative indisposition should be put on wheelchair before they lose their ability to move around by themselves. By doing so, the physical disease of such animals will be better than what it would be without wheelchairs. Pup Wheelchairs make outstanding aids for rehabilitation, especially if your pet is recovering from surgery. You can even rent them if your pet needs it temporarily. One ordinary question asked is whether the pet can urinate and defecate while using the wheelchair. Yes. The support harness with straps is specifically supposed to let the animal defecate and urinate while in its wheelchair. Can you use a wheelchair for other animals besides dogs? Of course, they could be used on cats as well. K9 Wheelchairs are even designed for animals such as goats, ferrets and rabbits.

In case your pet has weak forelimbs and needs your assistance for small walks or going up and down the stairs, there are also the harness straps supports which come separately with these pooch wheelchairs. The idea is to give your older dog the right type of support.

There are two types of dog wheelchairs, custom and adjustable. The older custom Pet Wheel Chairs are quickly becoming obsolete. They require dozens of measurements, take weeks to build, and cannot be adjusted as the dog changes and grows. New adjustable wheelchairs can be ordered overnight without complex measurements, adjusted to fit your dog perfectly, and fitted to another dog in the future if re-sold or donated.
