Dog wheelchair

[C-Bag]

Good job Ben.

There's few things on this planet that are more dear to me than my dogs. Your solution was a lot like what I used for my go at the same problem. I had a completely different outcome because my dog Izzy had a different problem. I think she was either poisoned or ate a blackwidow(which we had a lot of and she was always going after any critters). Dunno for sure. But the vet and others thought she was done and that was 9yrs ago!

She could move around good enough to take care of her needs but not go for a walk. So I saw a dog chariot and also had a walker out in the garage. The hard part in looking at all the designs was getting the dog into it. What I did use the same hardware and make the wheels swing out so the whole thing lay flat. Then walked Iz over it and then lift up until it locked. I should have used something like cloth or netting instead of straps as it wasn't as comfortable as yours is, but I was trying to figure out if it would even work.

It seemed to be the correct height but unfortunately my daughter was there and she started laughing so hard I thought she was going to stroke out. Iz is very smart and I think she got TOTALLY embarrassed. She wouldn't even let me try to get her in it again so I could perfect it. But she also decided she was going to walk no matter what.

I know it's not the same as your sons dog as it ultimately was not a hip problem. But it had been a couple of years since she'd even thought about trying to go for a walk and that seemed turn some kind of corner for her. Now she HAS to walk every evening.

I applaud your dillegence to help man's best friend remain on the planet and doing what all dogs live for, going for a walk and making me slow down and go with her.
