It’s not unusual for dogs and cats to become disabled just as people do. Dogs and cats become paraplegic and quadriplegic for many different reasons, but the good news it that you no longer have to put them down because of it. Today, owner care and pet sitting disabled animals is easier than ever before.
A Successful Solution for Disabled Pets
Doggie wheel chairs are now readily available and are a very simple and successful solution for disabled pets. Their mobility and dignity is restored and they go on to live happy and long lives as they should. Usually your dog will adjust to their new chair in just a minute or two. And the good news…they are very easy to use.
Pet Sitting a Disabled Animal
In home pet sitting or at home pet sitting is the best choice for a disabled animal. They have someone with them most of the time and are able to take their regular schedule walk in their own neighborhoods or parks. They are at their home and in their normal environment, so they tend to have less stress while you are away.
When pet sitting a disabled animal a little more knowledge and care is required on the part of the pet sitter, but overall it is really not that much different from pet sitting a non-disabled animal.
Finding a Wheel Chair for Your Pet
If you have a disabled animal or know someone who does your veterinarian probably knows where you buy a wheel chair for your pet. I also recommend looking into Eddie’s Wheels. The owners, Ed and Leslie Grinnell have been living with dogs with disabilities for 20 years. Ed is a former mechanical engineer and his design for animal wheelchairs, has won the accolades of veterinarians and canine physical rehabilitation practitioners worldwide. His design protects pets from some of the common side-effects created by canine carts such as skin breakdown and loss of core muscle tone. Each wheelchair is custom built here in the US and their prices are comparable with other manufactures.
