2. Get the Perfect Fit
An adjustable wheelchair provides flexibility and enough space to customize the fit of your dog’s cart. Choosing an adjustable wheelchair will give you the most control over how your dog’s cart will fit in it.
How is it adjustable?
- Length – your dog’s cart can be shortened or lengthened as needed to fit your dog’s torso.
- Height – an adjustable wheelchair will come with a strut and wheel that will allow you to adjust the height of your dog’s cart. With 3″ of adjustment, so it’s no big deal if your measurements are a little off!
- Width – gives you 2″ to 3″ of width adjustment so you can adapt to your dog’s unique shape. And if their weight or height fluctuates. with a few simple adjustments, the cart can continue to accommodate them!
Adapting to a Dog’s Changing Body
Dogs who experience changes in their mobility may also exhibit physical changes in their bodies. A dog that is inactive for a long period of time may gain weight, while other dogs may have lost weight and muscle mass over time. These weight fluctuations and changes in a dog’s body are completely normal. Once an overweight dog becomes more active, he may lose weight and a previously inactive dog may slowly rebuild muscle mass. With an adjustable cart, you don’t have to worry if your dog’s body size or shape changes and their cart no longer fits them. No need to buy another cart, with the push of a button you can expand or shrink your cart to fit your pet as needed.
For a growing puppy or dog, an adjustable wheelchair can grow with them. The length and width of the wheelchair can be adjusted as needed (an average wheelchair comes with two sets of side extensions and leaves plenty of room for growth. The wheels and spacers can be replaced with a larger set large if a dog outgrows it.An adjustable wheelchair is incredibly versatile and adaptive.
An adjustable wheelchair adapts to a pet’s changing mobility
Many conditions that affect a dog’s mobility are degenerative in nature. For a dog with diabetes or arthritis, this means that their loss of mobility may worsen over time and the level of support they need may also change. Since most mobility losses first affect the hindquarters, many pets start out in a rear wheelchair. With a custom wheelchair, the dog will likely need a whole new cart if the front legs weaken and support is needed. Meanwhile, with an adjustable wheelchair, like the Walkin’ Wheels, a front attachment can be added at any time to convert the rear wheel cart into a full support four wheel wheelchair! This allows the animal to use a single cart for its entire life.
Conclusion
An adjustable dog wheelchair provides the pet with the support it needs, while allowing pet parents to achieve a personalized fit. An adjustable cart ships quickly without the delays and complications that can occur with a custom wheelchair. If you want to get your pet back into shape quickly, with a wheelchair that will adapt and adapt as your dog’s mobility needs change, and the Adjustable Dog Wheelchair is the right choice.
