Belly Support – for dogs who need support in the center of their body

Neoprene belly support for dog wheelchair

An easy-to-use neoprene wrap to lift and support your dog under the belly. A mid-body support will lift the center of your dog’s body to help keep its spine level. The belly wrap is necessary for any dog with a back problem or whose back dips down in the center, but especially for long-bodied breeds like a corgi or dachshund.

The Belly Support loops over the wheelchair's side extender bars and Velcro's to itself for a comfortable fit. When adjusting your dog's wheelchair the sidebars should run parallel to the ground, centered through your dog's body, and your dog's back should be flat. The Belly Support helps to keep your dog's back comfortable and supported at all times!
