Absolutely. Our support system is uniquely designed to allow pets to be able to urinate and defecate freely while in their cart.
Small pets like Corgis, Dachshunds, and Pugs can lay down with the front end while in our rear support wheelchairs because they are low enough to the ground to not put any pressure on the back. Larger breeds cannot lay down as they would put too much of an angle and strain on the back; however our cart design allows pets to be taken in and out of the cart in a matter of seconds.
We guarantee our wheelchairs to fit. Although they are custom built specifically for your pet they will be adjustable in all directions. We also evaluate everything carefully before starting production and will notify you if we have any concerns about your measurements. In the rare event you’re unable to adjust it to fit, we will send you what’s needed to make it fit.
We typically try to build and ship in 1-2 business days after we receive the completed order but this can vary on how busy we are. We recommend contacting us to verify our current lead time.
Yes, our wheelchairs are fully adjustable in height, length, width and even the support system can be adjusted to your pet’s individual needs. Every cart is built specifically for the individual pet and guaranteed to fit.
K9 Carts stands apart because we are the only company with a background in orthopedic medicine. Our carts were designed with decades of research in the medical field and our professional staff are here to help you. Buying your wheelchair from K9 Carts ensures your medical device for your pet is built and tested from a medically based company.
We offer shipping methods via FedEx and through the Post Office. Our wheelchairs ship from our shop in Florida. Ground shipping takes 2-6 business days, depending on where we ship to. Priority Mail usually takes 2-3 business days. If you need the wheelchair by a certain day we recommend contacting us directly so we can help assist with choosing the best method.
We have a comprehensive warranty for one year on the entire cart with any part replaced if needed. We also offer a lifetime warranty on the frame against any defects.
We offer a 15 day trial period for a 70% refund which is plenty of time to test the cart and send us pictures for evaluation. It’s extremely rare for a pet to reject their K9 Cart unless it’s improperly fit, they’re in pain, have no desire to be active, or weakness on their forelimbs in which case front support can be added. We always recommend doing our towel test before ordering a wheelchair as this will usually give you a good indication of how they will do in our rear support cart.
Yes. We recommend contacting us directly to find out our current build time. We can also help with special Saturday delivery on packages that are shipped on a Friday.
Yes, our front support kit can be added at any time down the road with no additional measurements needed.
The foot slings are included with every wheelchair. These are for paralyzed pets that have no use of their rear legs. Every part needed for your cart is included in the box.
Some pets can handle going down a step or two without having any issues as long as they have strong forelimb strength. To get up steps, you simply grab the back of the cart to help lift the wheels over the step. We recommend building a ramp for 3 steps or more.

We appreciate how quickly we received the cart. It’s made such a difference in our lives, and Snoop struts around the park like a proud pup. Mahalo plenty! 🌺🐾

Our Tony has the use of his back legs, but with the arthritis in his legs and back, he has trouble going the distance anymore. The boy used to live for hiking and walking, so our vet recommended a cart for him. He's been on a couple of walks and he seems to like the cart. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.

Our Mini Dachshund, Dex, suffered a severe back injury about 8 years ago, before he joined our family. His mobility has always been less than that of an able bodied dog, but in the last 8 months we have been seeing his mobility decline pretty rapidly. Because of this, we decided to get him a K9Cart wheelchair back in August.
I simply cannot recommend this device enough! Since the purchase, Dex's mobility has improved massivly. We spend about 30-45 minutes total a day in the chair, broken up into small segments. We worked up to this over time, and it has been so great to see him regain a lot of his movement and independence. This device has helped him not only while he is wearing it, but in general life- he has been able to rebuld muscle groups he would have never been able to unassisted.
These devices take time and effort to help your pet, but if you are willing to invest those things, then I highly recommend getting a K9 Cart. I have been nothing but satisfied with this product, and I have seen the very clear difference that it has made in my special boy's life.

Game changer for my dog! Amazing to see him zoom around freely. Did take him a few times to get used to catching the wheel on something going by or staying away from fences

The wheelchair works great for our German shepherd. He can go on walks again and it is helping strengthen his rear legs so that we don’t have to carry him so much.
