Improve Pet Mobility When Not Using a Wheelchair

Improving Your Pet’s Mobility Inside

A wheelchair is a great solution for keeping your pet active, but it’s not always the best solution for indoors. Maneuvering indoor obstacles, around furniture, through tight spaces, and around tight corners can be challenging when in a wheelchair.

The Drag Bag is a great alternative for the dog wheelchair. It easily glides across flooring and is easy for your pet to maneuver. With its special, roller ball casters your pet can move easily in any direction. Allowing your pet to move freely and even rest when they want to.

Avoid Decubitus Ulcers

Dogs struggling with mobility loss tend to be less active and spend a lot of time laying down. Senior pets also have a harder time gently lowering themselves to the ground, often this leads to the dropping to the ground suddenly. Over time, constant impact on a bony joint like the hip bone can cause discomfort and lead to decubital ulcers.

These pressure sores hurt and are difficult to treat. Padded blankets and bedding can act as a cushioned barrier between your dog’s hip joint and the hard floor. Not only is your dog more comfortable, but the joint is protected from further damage.

  1. Should I choose a wheelchair or scooter for Shihtzu 13 years old , with right front leg amputated, and arthritis back legs.

    • With a front leg amputated, I would recommend a wheelchair. A dog using the scooter needs to be able to pull themselves with their front legs. A wheelchair will provide your Shih Tzu with the support they need to stay active and exercise.
