Where Caretakers Turn for Help and Advice
Sometimes when faced with caring for a pet with special needs, owners really want to be able to connect with someone who has been in their shoes and can guide them through the process. The Handicapped Pets Help and Advice forum has assisted thousands of pet owners with how-to tips on caring for disabilities such as paralysis or incontinence to providing support for pets that are blind or deaf.
Recently, owners Mike and Yvonne turned to the help and advice forum for assistance in caring for their dog Maxx - a young pitbull/Labrador mix who had suddenly become paralyzed in his rear legs. After discussions with other pet owners about what to expect in caring for a dog that could no longer use his rear legs, they purchased Maxx a Walkin' Wheels dog wheelchair and shared their learning experience with the Long Island Press blog titled It's Reigning Cats and Dogs.

Splints and Braces Provide Extra Protection
If your pet has suffered an injury or sprain that requires a little extra support during the healing process or if he or she experiences persistent weakness in one of its limbs that would benefit from increased stability, be sure to check out our wide array of splints and braces.
The bootie splint pictured at right is ideal for dogs needing support in the lower aspect of the rear leg. It provides support to assist in the recovery of injury and also provides proper positioning against knuckling.
We also have a wide selection of slings, harnesses, boots, diapers, ramps and stretchers. Here is a comprehensive listing of our products for elderly, disabled and injured pets.
