Pet Mobility
It is hard to accept that the life of your pet is over once it is disabled or can no longer walk. There is good news for pet owners who love their pets. This article reviews a device invented to restore pet mobility.
Unlike humans who can sit comfortably for long hours, dogs like to stay mobile at all times, walking around and using their sense of smell. If pet mobility is hindered, your dog or any other pet cannot live a happy, healthy life. You no longer need to see your best friend suffer.
The traditional solution to restore your pet’s mobility when it is handicapped is to take it to a vet and get some medication. If this solution does not yield results, you should think of an alternative to relieve its distress by making available some means for it to move around. Today, thanks to modern technology, various devices are available that enable free movement of your pets in spite of their disabilities. There are dog wheelchairs for your paralyzed dogs. This apparatus allows your dog to freely move around without any hassle. This may also motivate it to exercise its bones and muscles so that it hastens the process of healing and restoring healthy limbs.
Dog wheelchairs like the Walkin’ Wheels are available on the web and at veterinary clinics. These carts enable dogs to remain in their natural position in spite of their disabilities. With the help of this, pet mobility can be reinstated. Cart wheelchairs come in various types. For dogs that are paralyzed in their back legs and cannot make much use of them, a rear wheel cart will help overcome this problem. For a dog which does not have front limbs or has injured its front limbs, a front wheel cart will come to the rescue. Where all four limbs have been paralyzed or the entire body is paralyzed, a four wheel quad cart can help the pet to conquer its disability.
However, your pet may take time to get used to its wheelchair or cart. Initially, it may feel awkward. You have to constantly inspire your dog or cat to use the device. You must keep coaxing it to walk around with its new-found support with treats and positive reinforcement. Eventually, your pet will start walking happily again. Some amount of patience and time is required before your pet is ready to use the wheeled support.
With advancement in technology, pet owners can now stop worrying about their pet’s disabilities. These days a number of stores cater to dogs and facilitate pet mobility by offering a wide range of products from wheelchairs to carts to rear harnesses to dog collars.
Pet mobility products like harnesses and wheelchairs can restore your pet’s activity and enable it to live a normal and healthy life in spite of its disabilities. You can consult the vet or try out these products for yourself.
