Sit Down Dog Wheelchairs
Dog Mobility Aids that Help Your Dog Stay Active
There are a range of mobility conditions that can affect your dog or cat’s ability to keep up with you. Degenerative myelopathy, IVDD, neurological issues, hip dysplasia, arthritis, and other joint conditions can all cause your dog to slow down or impact their overall mobility. Luckily, assistive devices are available to help any size dog to stay active and help get them moving.
Support Slings and Lifting Harnesses
Struggling to stand up and balance issues are early signs that a dog’s mobility is changing. A dog’s arthritic joints may be painful and make standing up a slow and difficult process. A lifting harness can help you safely support your dog and save your back at the same time!
A simple rear support leash or harness is the perfect solution for dogs who are in the earliest stages of mobility loss. A harness slides easily up a dog’s back legs allowing you to gently lift and guide a dog up off the ground. A simple and quick way to help your dog outside, on the stairs, or into the car.
The aid of a dog support sling can help relieve some of the weight placed on the legs of an injured pet or those recovering from surgery. Allowing them to walk comfortably with their pet parent’s assistance. Perfect for quick trips outside or light exercise.
Dog Wheelchairs
A dog wheelchair helps improve canine mobility and provides pets with the support they need.
Getting pets back on their feet and back to what's really important, being with their family. Whether a dog is paralyzed, starting to lose strength in their back legs, or just needs a little help to improve their mobility, every dog wants to be moving.
Pets struggling with a progressive mobility condition, like DM, whose condition will worsen over time to eventually affect the front leg strength, will need a cart that adjusts to fit their changing mobility. The Walkin’ Wheels rear support dog wheelchair can easily be converted into a four-wheel or quad wheelchair by adding the front attachment at any time.
Drag Bag for Indoor Mobility
The Walkin’ Drag Bag is perfect for a paralyzed dog to use inside the house when not using their wheelchair. Designed to help your pup scoot across any floor, the drag bag helps keeps pets active all day long.
The drag bag allows pets to lie down and rest comfortably. Perfect for dogs who tire easily and like to rest in between play times. Wearing a scoot bag protects your pups chest and legs for a paralyzed pet to go anywhere they want to inside without scraping their legs.
Final Takeaway
A change in a pet's mobility does not have to be an end-of-life decision. There are mobility solutions available to you and your pet. With a little help, the right mobility aid, and the support of your pet care professional, your dog can live a happy, active life.
