Wheelchairs and Carts for Dogs with Mobility Issues

vets las vegas nv

Large dog breeds like the Great Dane, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, and German Shepherds and other breeds are often prone to mobility problems as they age. These breeds are also prone to diseases like DM or degenerative myelopathy. DM can cause loss of mobility in the hind end and in particular causes numbness of loss of feeling in the backend. This can often prevent a dog from moving about at all. But there are dog wheelchairs and dog carts that can give your dog a chance to be mobile again. An example is Eddie’s Wheels and K9Carts.com which focus on developing wheelchairs and carts for dogs and cats with mobility issues such as DM. The carts are standard rear wheel carts that can be used like walks. The cart enables dogs to have their backend placed on the cart and their front legs to take a regular stride giving them the chance to be mobile again.
