Best Friend Mobility Dog Wheelchair, X-Small

Our springer is 15 and doesn't have much strength in her back legs so she would often wobble over. The wheels are lightweight and easy to fit and meant she could join the rest of our dogs on their walks again. However, despite checking all screws were tight before every walk (having read comments on here) the screws for both sides bars and one of the wheels have now fallen out and we were unable to find them - we were on the beach and retraced our steps when we realised they'd gone but no joy. That also meant we had to carry her back to the car.None of the few spare screws which come with are the right size for the wheels or side bars and nor are they normal size screws which I could just go and buy. This has meant that we are no longer able to use the wheelchair so no walks for our dog. I have emailed the manufacturer but haven't received any response or even an acknowledgement which is very disappointing.

The media could not be loaded.  I wasn't sure if my Malamute would take to this cart as they can be quite stubborn but it was an instant success. A few months ago she damaged her cruciate ligament on one side, with veterinary consultation it was decided it was best to restrict exercise and let it heal as my vet predicted that the other side would probably go shortly too. Which it did. That left us concerned about keeping her fit and healthy both mentally and physically. We had researched quite a few different carts and this one seemed to come out well in trials and was reasonably priced too - compared to other ones. It was easy to put together and is simple to adjust. Within a short time of owning it, she is now have a regular daily walk (it's recommended to build up 10 mins daily) and is running, chasing balls and able to go to the toilet in the cart with ease. Happy Malamute, happy owner.

Our GSD has no power in rear end now to stand he's 12. I looked at all the versions but decided on this one really because of previous reviews and substantial size of wheels. It wasn't cheap so I had high expectations of quality. It frame was quickly assembled and it gives me the impression of being sturdy. The harnesses took us ages to figure out even with instructions and You Tubing. I'm hoping the fixtures to the harness/ frame are adequately durable ; we'll see I'm reserving judgement although it definitely doesn't scream flimpsy . We couldn't figure out the purpose of two zip tyes/ties round one two fixtures on the harness. The support bars on the frame attached to the front harness we felt should have had padding .Initial thoughts are delighted and I certainly wouldn't advise even contemplating buying a cheap version if it's a big dog.Within a few minutes he seemed to happily trot in the garden with his back legs fully supported in slings which are padded.

The media could not be loaded.  Just perfect, for my girl 42 kg gsd. 15 years old. That video is her 1st walk in this wheelchair. Just 3 min walk but you can definitely see she enjoys the freedom. Will need a few adjustments but it is perfect so glad we decided to buy it as I was carrying her bump in one of those rear back harness and supporting half of her weight was a proper workout. Xx

I bought this for my dog who's hind legs have completely given out, hoping this would give him another couple of weeks of life. Or at least allow him to go to his death with some dignity (It was an Alaskan Malamute)He did not accept the wheelchair and so he met his fate on the same day as it arrived. I do not fault the product for this.What I do fault the product for is quality of some materials and the instruction manual. The latter of which was created by an utter imbecile.Instructions for assembly were convoluted, with the initial steps for the back frame being in the wrong order. As it tells you to first mount the more narrow frame, after which you struggle to mount the second wider frame.This brings up the second point. Some materials, mainly the included wrench and nuts & bolts. The wrench damaged the nuts and became unusable as it couldn't get a grip. And after unscrewing one of the screws due to the aforementioned frame problem it lost thread so I couldn't place the nut back on it.Going back to instructions, the worst part was the harness mounting. The pictures on the instruction are close up and at weird angles. And considering you will be placing your (probably) very ill pet on top, it doesn't give you any faith, you're almost scared to do it because you're not sure if the harness is mounted on correctly. Disgraceful.And lastly, the pictures are black & white. That wouldn't be weird if not for the fact that there are a couple of pictures that do have colour AND THE WHOLE BOOK HAS A FRAME SURROUND IN COLOUR.Besides, the unit is not that big, why not ship it assembled with the user just needing to attach the wheels. I don't think anyone who gets this is in a mental state where they will be happy to follow along the terrible instructions like they are building a LEGO set.

This wheelchair has made such a difference to my elderly dog American bulldog who suffers from degenerative myelopathy. She still has some mobility in her back legs but falls over repeatedly if walking outside unaided. Mobility in her front legs is still good so use the stirrups to keep her back legs off the ground.Thought we might have some issues getting her used to it but she took to it from day one. I think she loves the fact that she can get around faster and even started chasing birds again 😂. Also easier for her to do the toilet, unaided she struggles and more often than not she does the toilet then falls on to it. With the wheelchair there are no issues and we no longer have to clean her up after each walk.It takes seconds to get the dog in and out of this Having the bigger wheels means it is less likely to capsize although you do need to be careful on uneven, hilly grassed areas.A wee bit fiddly to put together but there is a helpful video on YouTube.I have no hesitation recommending this - money well spent!
