Dog Wheelchairs And Their Impact

Just a few decades back, dogs that have lost the use of their fore or hind limbs were often written off. Not necessarily out of coldness hard heartedness or cruelty of pet owners, some people actually made such decisions out of love. Thinking that their pets would not be happy being unable to move around under own strength and power, not having any semblance of freedom and independence, pet owners chose to euthanize them that leave them "in pain." These were the choices they thought they had to make.

These days, we all know that there are more options available for pets and their owners. Dog wheelchairs alone have made a big difference on such choices. Many dogs on these dog wheelchairs have shown that they can lead full contented and happy lives just like their regular four-leg powered counterparts.

In truth, the commercial side of the pet-loving community has truly risen up and embraced the idea of supporting disabled or mobility challenged pets by designing and creating actual products for pets on dog wheelchairs. An assortment of products and services intended to make caring for these now wheelchair bound best friends a little bit easier are now available.
