Japanese wheelchair, almost no lifting

Post by CarolC »

When you watch the video it doesn't look like the dog is walking very well, but I think he may be lame in his left front paw. I like the way this design means the owner doesn't have to lift the dog into the saddle, or hold the dog up to attach him to the frame. It uses the principle of leverage. It would not give the dog a lot of independence, he isn't going to play frisbee in it, but If you mainly need a cart to take your large senior dog out to potty and you can't lift, it would be great.

Just like human wheelchairs, no single configuration will fit everybody and every situation, but this is certainly a good idea for certain circumstances!
