leg rings causing redness on groin?
Hi! My dog is finally getting adjusted to using his quad cart thanks to everybody's suggestions :) However, I have noticed a lot of redness around the groin where his rear leg rings sit-could they possibly be too tight? Should I be leaving more space between them and the Velcro connector? Thank you!...

Dog having trouble gaining momentum in quad cart
Hi everyone, As of last week my 15 year old Retriever mix has been using a quad cart. The rear end was kindly donated by a colleague so all I needed to purchase was the front end attachment. I am not 100% sure if I have the settings correct or if perhaps I should try smaller wheels as some days he s...

Splints or brace for arthritic front legs?
Hi
I have a senior boy with very arthritic front legs-I am hoping someone may know of a splint or brace that would be able to be used for the purpose of strengthening as he is exceptionally shaky. Any recommendations or suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
