At K9 Carts we have gone to great lengths to ensure our wheelchairs are as light weight as possible. Lightweight and perfect balance are extremely important when considering a wheelchair for your pet.
Watch K9 Carts in Action
The Standard Dog wheelchair
Your pet walks strongly with the front legs when using the towel test.
This two-wheeled dog cart is designed for dogs and cats with rear limb weakness. Excellent for post-surgery rehabilitation. This Wheelchair is especially effective for dogs suffering from degenerative myelopathy and disc disease. Your pet should walk strongly with its front legs when using the towel test, and the desire to be active.
Standard Wheelchair
The Extra Supportive Dog wheelchair
Your pet can walk with the front legs, but has some weakness when using the towel test.
K9 Carts Extra-Supportive dog cart is similar to our Standard model, but with a front extension kit, which gives support to the front limbs. Example: when your pet can walk with the front legs, but has some weakness when using the towel test. The front wheels are casters and are used for guiding the cart. This cart will allow pets with some weakness in the front legs to continue to be mobile. It is only recommended for pets with moderate strength in the front limbs.
Extra Supportive Wheelchair
The Fully Supportive Dog wheelchair
Your pet is unable to walk with the front legs and must be supported in both the front and rear legs.
The K9 Carts Fully-Supportive dog cart is for dogs that require support in all four limbs; used when your pet is unable to walk with its front legs during the towel test. and must be supported in both the front and rear.K9 Carts Fully-Supportive 4-wheeled dog cart aids with rehabilitation by keeping your pet in a standing position, allowing for physical therapy and range-of-motion exercises on all four limbs. In many cases, our Fully-Supportive wheelchair can assist and speed up the rehabilitative process, often returning pets to full mobility.

K9 Carts Rental Program
Our rental program is designed to give your pet all of the benefits of a K9 Carts wheelchair without having to pay the full purchase price.
The rental time frame is divided into two week increments; with the first rental period beginning when you receive your wheelchair.
The K9 Carts Rental Program has a built-in “Rent-To-Own” option--meaning 100% of your rental fee is put toward the purchase price of the wheelchair should you choose to keep
it.
Forelimb Strength & the Towel Test
If you have a small dog or cat we suggest you take an old towel, cut two holes in it, and place the legs through the holes. Remembering to keep the back level, see if your pet will walk normally. This action simulates our cart support system. If you have a large dog, a towel under each hind leg is an easier way to do the towel test.
Benefits of the Rental Program:
-
Minimal cost & adjustable time frame: The rental program allows the use of our wheelchair on a flexible time frame for a substantial reduction in upfront cost.
-
Temporary mobility before and after surgery: It has been shown that maintaining body and limb alignment while allowing pets to ambulate in our wheelchair encourages return to function faster; and in the case of surgery performed on one limb, can prevent additional surgery that may result from stress being placed on the healthy limb.
-
Trial use of wheelchair: We realize that you may be doubtful as to whether your pet will adapt to a wheelchair and therefore would like to rent-to-own instead of purchasing.

Wild Wyla
Wila is a great dog who’s owners wrote us telling us how much their dog loved her new K9 Carts pet wheelchair. Apparently, not only did “Wild Wyla” take to her new set of wheels right away, she almost immediately began setting land speed records throughout her neighborhood; racing around, making quite a scene.
Well, one afternoon, all that commotion got the attention of local law enforcement, who upon seeing the crazed canine’s disregard for posted speed limits, ‘pulled over’ Wild Wyla for a real-life TRAFFIC STOP!
In the end, Wild Wyla was let go with just a warning, and the friendly police officer was kind enough to allow his photo to be taken with the alleged perpetrator (shown here). Special thanks to Wyla’s owner for the photos and to the fine men and women of Wyla’s local area law enforcement.
