  • Andy in his K9 Carts Dog Wheelchair How Do Other Pets Get Along with Dogs in Wheelchairs?

    by Glenn Parkes on January 25, 2018

    So your dog needs a wheelchair, but you have other pets. You might be worried that your other companions will act strangely around the dog with the disability, or get outright hostile.

    Don’t worry: that’s not very likely. We frequently build wheelchairs for dogs who have a pack—and the packs’ humans have told us that all the other animals get along fine. Continue Reading

  • Reja and Jazz in carts Training Dogs to Use a Wheelchair

    by Glenn Parkes on November 13, 2017

    You might be surprised by how quickly your dog will take to a wheelchair. Most of K9 Carts’ thousands of patients were up and rolling very soon after they got their new chair.

  • Reja in a K9 Carts Dog Wheelchair Playdates for Dogs in Wheelchairs

    Don’t worry: your dog can still play with its friends if it has a wheelchair. K9 Carts clients send us regular updates on their patients. We have plenty of photographic and video evidence that wheelchair-bound dogs can have a blast on playdates. Continue Reading

    by Glenn Parkes on October 20, 2017

    Meet Andy. He’s an active, six-year-old Bichon mix with a herniated disc, and he loves his wheelchair.
