The wheelchair gives a variety of different options to provide the perfect fit for Carlos, who is now getting used to using the wheelchair for his degenerative myelopathy.

Our large shephard lab mix tore both CCLs. He’s too old for surgery. We are also waiting for custom braces.
The XL shoulder harness was too small and the front end rode too low. I attached it to a regular dog harness and it works ok now. They should have a bigger harness. Our dog isn’t that huge!
Also, there is no instructional video or manual for how to position the extra brace for the xl wheelchair.
He walks easily in it and it is lightweight.
We do have to be ready to catch up he back of it if he takes a corner too fast or turns in a circle as it will tip! This may be less of an issue with shorter dogs with a lower center of gravity.
Overall, however, we are happy we can continue taking our dog on the walks he loves.
Hi James,
Sorry to hear about the wheelchair harness not fitting. We are happy to hear you were able to make the harness work. Thank you for sharing a video of your dog walking with the wheelchair. Looks like he is loving his walks again and is doing well! I'm sorry we unfortunately don't have any sort of instructional information for the stability bar. We apprecaite your honest feedback and we will be sure to share this recommendation with the rest of the team. Please let us know if you ever have any additional questions, happy to help!

The casting kit had everything we needed and the video we watched was very informative to make a good cast. The only thing I would add is to tell people to work FAST as the cast roll can start to harden before you’re finished rolling.
The brace that came soon afterwards fit our dog perfectly. It enabled him to walk much easier. He soon learned that it was helpful for him and helped his pain from his torn CCL. We ended up getting the APLO surgery after all and are no longer using the brace, but it was very helpful for him in the meantime.
Hi Heidi,
Glad to hear the casting process went well and you are happy with how the brace turned out! We appreciate you sharing any feedback and suggestions about our casting video. We will share this suggestion with our team. We hope your dog continues to show improvements and now can enjoy getting back to his usual routine. Please let us know if you ever have any questions, happy to help!
