The rubber tubing can be cut shorter if
needed (do not cut the strapping).
Try cutting about an inch off all four ends of
the rubber then adjusting the tri-glides on
the straps to tighten them up.
The excess Velcro

strapping will cross over the dog's back, or
Velcro

together to form handles (see photos below).
The Velcro
®
center connector can be moved forward or backward to
avoid putting pressure on the dog’s genitals (ideal for intact dogs).
In addition, the Velcro connector can be wrapped loosely so there is
space between the rings. The Velcro
®
center connector MUST be used.
Adjust for best comfort and fit. See Adjusting Leg Rings Video below:

Stirrups
Stirrups are optional for paws that are dragging
or knuckling under. The stirrups attach to the back
of the wheelchair on each silver metal loop (also
called “eye pads”). The rubber tubes on the stirrups
need to be above the dog’s hock. Use the push ball
lock to adjust to a snug fit. The dog’s leg should be
several inches off the ground. You can adjust the
length of the cord by re-tying the knot. If you use
the stirrups, use both. Using only one stirrup causes
the dog to feel unbalanced.
IMPORTANT: When taking the dog
out of the wheelchair, make sure
to release the stirrups FIRST.
