Wheelchairs for Dogs

With the help of mobility equipment, your pet may once again take walks in the park, play with other dogs, or chase a ball in your front yard.

As you consider options to help your pet, be aware that dog wheelchairs can only be if assistance if pets have adequate front leg strength and function to pull themselves along.

For example, Dewey’s Wheel Chairs for Dogs of Oregon has an original design that is custom-fit to each dog and uses aluminum tubing, light weight plastic, neoprene rear support and a pneumatic wheel, the lightest on the market.

Made with durable materials, these mobility devises for dogs are user-friendly to the owner and pet… and are designed to withstand wear and tear under normal "doggy" conditions.

To find experts who build dog wheelchairs, contact your veterinarian, university-sponsored veterinarian schools, reputable animal breeders or animal shelter directors.

Always check references and consult with your veterinarian before moving forward on ordering a mobility device for your pet.
