Dog's Friend Mobility : Help for Pets Currently unavailable

The Mobility Solution For Your Aging Best Friend.

Parents of aging pets are buying and building stairs for their animals to get on and off of the bed and the couch all the time these days.

Arthritis and other ailments make it difficult if not impossible for our older pets to get around.

With these problems, your dog may have trouble keeping active and may limit its physical activities like walking and running. An aging dog may choose to spend his or her time lying on his/her bed by necessity. A specially made cart can help extend your pet's happy and lively years, making your time with him or her more enjoyable.

You don't have to leave your aging pet behind any more. Check this out! Maybe the best really is still yet to be. Don't let your best friend down if all it will take to get him going again is a little help.

An article I read said that a growing percentage of Americans refer to themselves as their pets' Mom or Dad. That is how we feel.

Your dog probably does jobs around the house like keeping unwanted visitors away, fetching your morning paper, and keeping patrol on your hedges against intruders. He or she probably welcomes you home from work and makes you feel like the best pet parent(s) in the world!

As such, an incident or condition leaving him or her handicapped or unable to use his/her limbs can be a devastating blow to your dog's confidence and sense of usefulness. Yes, dogs have self-esteem too, and handicapped dogs can have difficulty adjusting to mobility limitations.

As your pet's body is no longer up to what he used to do, he is just as apt to suffer from depression as we would and it may have other physical manifestations.

People don't realize or remember that a big function of well made pet wheelchairs is to regenerate your animal's muscles. It's physical therapy.

Get a badly crafted one-size-fits-all or home-made doggie kart and it may make matters worse. The animal's suffering and physical situation may be made worse.

Make it easier for handicapped dogs to do their jobs by:

1. Building a ramp in your porch
Build a ramp on one side of your porch to make it easier for your dog to go up and down from your porch to your garden or backyard. Best Friend Mobility dog wheelchairs are equipped with all terrain wheels that have excellent traction so you don't have to worry about your handicapped pet sliding down a ramp.

2. Clearing paths in your backyard
Your backyard or garden doesn't have to be squeaky clean. Just clear walkways and pathways free of rocks and other debris that can snag or cause your handicapped dogs wheelchair to tip over. While the sleek design of Best Friend Mobility dog wheelchairs prevent these accidents, it doesn't hurt to give your dog extra protection.

3. Training your dog again
Using a dog wheelchair will be a novel experience for your dog. Be sure to watch our video showing a handicapped dog being fitted into a dog wheelchair and taking his first steps for the very first time.

Most handicapped dogs adapt to using a Best Friend Mobility dog wheelchair easily within a week or two (with some training, guidance, and encouragement). Teach them how to balance while picking up the paper and give them time to practice their walking and running skills before playing fetch with them.

Don't forget to give your pet enough rest, patience and love as he or she becomes accustomed to this new way of life.

How to measure the Fold of the Flank of your dog.
To measure the height of a dog for our Walkin Wheels, measure from the ground to the "Fold of the Flank" as shown here. The Fold of the Flank (FOF) is a thin piece of skin that connects the dog's upper rear leg to his body. Look at the webbing between your thumb and index finger. This skin is very similar to the fold of flank (FOF). Note: If your dog is overweight, then the fold of flank will probably hang down from his body, making the fold of flank measurement shorter than it really is. You will need to try and move the flank up to a normal position, to get an accurate measurement. -- From description
