Pet wheelchairs typically consist of a frame with wheels that supports the pet’s body, allowing them to move with the help of their front legs or remaining functional limbs. They come in various sizes and designs to accommodate different types of pets, such as dogs, cats, and even sheep/lamb. A wheel chair will be recommended by treating veterinarian or a physiotherapist in the following condition:

• Paralysis of hind legs
• Arthritis
• Severe mobility limiting injuries
• Congenital mobility defects
• Reduced mobility in senior pets

Advantages of wheelchair includes:

• Restores Mobility- Helps your pet to move around independently
• Improves Quality of Life- Keeps your pet active and engaged
• Prevents Further Injury- Protects against dragging legs/overstraining other limbs
• Supports Rehabilitation- Aids in recovery of your pet; post-surgical/post-injury
• Reduces Pain- Eases movement in a pet with joint or spinal issues

There are a few disadvantages to discuss here. The foremost one is the initial cost involved in it (INR 64,999/-) and some pets may take longer time to adjust with the support. The cart can’t be used in rough/ uneven surfaces and it requires proper maintenance and regular cleaning.

Thus, a wheelchair for pet is a valuable tool for improving mobility and quality of life for animals with mobility issues. It supports independence, aids in rehabilitation, and helps manage pain or prevent further injury. While there are some challenges, such as adjustment and maintenance, the benefits often outweigh the disadvantages, making it a worthwhile investment for pets with specific mobility needs.
