Is there anybody out there that has a Doggie wheelchair, either to buy,rent or borrow. My labrador is struggling to walk on his back legs. He is still alert and happy, it is not time to put him to sleep and this would help him tremendously. Gail

Would it be that hard to make one yourself?



Maybe get an old wheeled luggage and cut it down with some padding and a couple of straps?

Yes we were thinking of making one if we cannot get the real thing.

I just googled doggy wheelchairs and it came back with doggymobiles, so I clicked on it and it came up with, wait for it.............. mobile phones for your dog.

Talking to your dog when you are away from the house to reassure the poor darlings. From the USA of course.

My friend has her own animal sanctuary here near to the electric generating station. We ordered a wheelchair for her dog who was front legs amputee, we had to get it from USA via a UK company called dogonwheels. They were really good but sadly Peggy died and the wheelchair is not now needed. It would not be any good for yours as it is for front legs but can help with ordering a new one if you like.

zanky,

Thanks for the info, we are aware there are products available, we were just hoping that someone local may have had one at the ready.



Thanks,



Gail.

Hi Gail It might help with building your own if you could see Peggys?
