A Homemade cart for scooter


dog in a wheelchair homemadeI have an 8 yr. old dachshund that is the joy of my life.  I adore her.  Her back legs no longer work...and she was NEVER one for exercise! 

Her kneecaps are on the outsides of her legs and she has a lot of arthritis in her leg joints.  For me to carry her is not really a problem, but I know she has had a lot of difficulty going to the bathroom.  My sister, Cheryl, world's best puppy aunt, or I would hold her up, but I know it was not easy for any of us.  I decided to see about a 'set of wheels' for her.  Well, when I saw the cost I figured I did not have a chance, but then I found your website!  THANK YOU ! 

I looked at what others did, saw what I could and could not do. I am a rather creative middle aged woman and figured out some alternatives.  It took a couple of tries, but I think we have one that is going to work. 

homemade do it yourself dog wheelchair


May have to 'tweak it' a bit as time goes on. 

I am sending some photos.  It is made out of plastic pipe and joints.

I glued the back ones and duck taped the front ones so I can get the bands off.  The red bands holding her up are some skier headbands I got at an outlet for about $1.50 each.  The whole thing was about $15.00 to build.  Thank you again for your sites and contributor's ideas!
