Custom Wheelchairs & Carts for Pets | Support Mobility & Independence

Joy in Wheels

Mobility challenges affect pets both physically and psychologically.

With a custom-fitted wheelchair or cart, pets that were once withdrawn due to mobility issues can become more active and engaged, showing improvements in mood and behavior. The ability to explore their surroundings and participate in family activities significantly enhances their quality of life.

Pet Parent Testimonials

Sukie is a 5 year old very active dog with a torn CCL/ACL. Sukie was not a surgical candidate so we were referred to OrthoPaws for a custom brace. After receiving her brace, Sukie is back to running around the yard and doing doggy things - and we can relax knowing she is protected and comfortable.

Tracey Judd - Pet Parent

Our Dog Eva's back foot began to look like it was collapsing. She hopped around for weeks and would not use her foot at all. The Vet said she was not a candidate for surgery. The process was very easy. The brace made a world of difference in Eva's life. She began to run around and play with her toys again - something she hadn't done in awhile!

Lisa May - Pet Parent

When we learned Jackson tore his Cruciate Ligament, we explored many options on how to heal, repair, and support his injury. We decided to move forward with a custom stifle brace. From start to finish, Dani was there ensuring everything went smoothly. The brace fits Jackson perfectly. He can do all his doggy things comfortably in his brace - and we can relax knowing he is supported and happy.

Jordyn Taveras - Pet Parent

My parents’ dog, Cali, had a severe Achilles injury that ended up needing surgery. We needed a post-operative option to allow her to heal, and also needed a brace to allow her to gradually regain her motion without re-injuring herself. Dani was able to make a well-fitted splint for the surgery and a perfectly fitted brace for her recovery. Cali wears her brace every day and we do not have to worry about her re-injuring herself so long as she is in her brace. We highly recommend orthopaws to anyone in need of a mobility device for their animal.

FAQs

What conditions can be addressed with custom wheelchairs and carts?

Custom wheelchairs and carts are designed to support pets with a variety of mobility issues, including:

Complete Paralysis: Providing full support for pets with no hind limb function.
Single or Bilateral Amputation: Ensuring balance and mobility for pets with limb loss.
Degenerative Myelopathy: Assisting pets with progressive spinal conditions.
Bilateral Deformities: Supporting pets with deformities in both front limbs.

How do I know if my pet needs a wheelchair or cart?

Once you submit the form and provide details about your pet’s condition, we’ll guide you through the options. There may be several suitable solutions or just one. Don't worry about choosing the perfect option immediately—just provide as much detail as possible about your pet's needs and goals.

My pet can still use its back legs. Can it use a wheelchair or cart?

Yes, a wheelchair can support exercise and help maintain muscle mass in pets with weak hind limbs. It’s also beneficial for pets with no use of their hind limbs. However, if your pet has no hind limbs at all, a hind-end cart is the appropriate option, as it provides full support for pets without any hind limb function.

Using Your Pet’s Mobility Device: Key Considerations

Can my pet relieve themselves while in the devices?

Yes, your pet can relieve themselves while using our wheelchairs or carts. We ensure that the design accommodates their needs to make sure they are comfortable and functional.

When should my pet wear the device?

The device should be worn when your pet is active and under supervision. It's not intended for use during relaxation periods at home or while your pet is lying down.

How long does it take for a pet to adjust to a wheelchair or cart?

Most pets adapt quickly and relish the newfound freedom. Some may require a bit more time and training.

How Much Does a Pet Wheelchair or Cart Cost?

The cost of a pet wheelchair or cart depends on factors such as your pet’s size, mobility needs, and the materials used. Prices typically range from $450 to $2800 USD, covering everything from budget-friendly options to fully customized carts. At OrthoPaws, we offer flexible payment plans to help make top-quality mobility solutions more accessible for your pet.

Will I need to take measurements on my own?

No need to worry about casting, scanning, or measurements. OrthoPaws provides a seamless experience, handling all aspects of the custom prosthetic process. We ensure a perfect fit for your pet under expert guidance, aiming to get your furry friend back on their feet, regardless of how many limbs are affected.

Is my pet a candidate?

While many animals benefit from our services, not all may qualify. This form helps us assess if your pet is a suitable candidate for further evaluation. Although most cases require an in-person assessment to confirm candidacy, filling out this form allows us to determine initial eligibility.
