Dog Wheelchair : What is it?
| A dog wheelchair or cart is a mobility device designed for dogs with physical disabilities such as hip dysplasia, degenerative mylopathy, spinal or vertebrae problem, cervical or disk disease, raptured disk, or any problem affecting their ability to walk normally. It includes a frame, harness, and wheels that supporting and mobilize dogs. It can be used temporarily or permanently depending on the illness and design of the wheelchair. It is a tool for rehabilitation and support, allowing dogs to get used to walking normally after injury or surgery. It should only be used when walking the dog and should never be left on unattended, as it can become stuck or tip over. |
