Canine Wheel Chairs – Everything you need to know.

In the past when animals had injuries or problems that affected either the front or rear area of their body they had to suffer for long periods or they never recovered from their injury or malady since they can never get exercise again. However, all that is changing with the discovery of dog wheelchairs. K9 Mobility Aids support an animals back legs and allow the dogs to use their front legs to run, play, and get the support and exercise they need to live happy, fit lives. Even pets that are paraplegic will now use dog wheelchairs and continue to be happy.

There are several parts to a Canine Carts. The leg rings or back harness help support the hind part of the dog with rings to give it comfort and hold up the back part of the dog. Depending on the size of the dog there are belly straps to give it extra support. Easy release clips attach the harness together to the wheelchair. There are beneficial handles provided to attach the harness to the wheelchair and carry the dog easily when it’s not in the wheelchair.

The K9 Wheelchairs also have harness for the front. This slips on to the dog’s neck and can be strapped to the dog’s chest with clips. A pad for the shoulder of the dog gives protection from buckles and straps. Another strap that runs under the chest of the dog and back of the front legs helps holds the harness safely in its place.

The frame of the dog wheelchair is made of sturdy aluminum which is powder-coated reducing chances of rusting, breaking or bending; plastic rings that are molded attach the legs of the pup to the frame preventing it from slipping. There are also spring enabled caps that can be turned to loosen the rings or rotate the legs so the cart can fold flat for easy transport in the trunk of a vehicle or in the included tote bag.

The harnesses and clips on the dog wheelchairs which connect the harnesses to the cart can be adjusted to the size of the dog. The wheels are attached to struts which are snapped into the cart. There are foam wheels and air filled tires available with bearings fitted. The air tires are wonderful for heavy and off-road use.

Stirrups on the rear of the dog wheelchair allow the dog’s legs to be strapped and held up to prevent your k9 from dragging his legs on the ground. Convenient straps help lift and guide the dog’s wheelchair. These are ideal for animals weak in their legs or crippled. The wheelchairs come with manuals to help you adjust and use it well and give your doggy all the comfort. The wheelchair cart comes with adjustable lengths and sizes for you to accommodate your dog’s height, width, and length.
