Adjusting the Width
Use the snap buttons on the width connector to adjust the wheel-
chair to the proper width. There should be at least ½" on each side
of the hips. The width adjustment will be determined by the widest
part of the dog which is usually the chest. The width connector that is
attached to the frame is 9" long and will extend to 14.5". If you need
additional width, call us to order the 13" connector.
Attaching the Struts
and Wheels
You received your wheelchair with the
correct size strut and wheel combination
according to your dog’s rear leg height
measurement. Insert the strut into the
wheelchair leg and adjust to the height
needed. If you need a different size
wheel and strut, contact us.
Adjusting the Height
We offer 4", 6", 9", 12", 15" struts that attach to the wheels for height.
The correct height setting is based on both the height and the condi-
tion of the dog. If the dog has some use of his/her back legs, then use
the snap buttons to adjust the height so the dog’s toe pads are on the
ground and the dog can participate in the walking motion. If the back
legs are very weak or paralyzed, and scraping or knuckling under, put
the legs in the stirrups or protect them with Walkin’
