There are many different styles of dog wheelchairs, each one designed to offer different levels of support. The three main types of dog wheelchairs are:
Rear wheelchair – hind leg support
Full Support or Quad wheelchair – a four-wheeled wheelchair that supports all four legs
Front Wheel wheelchair – support for a dog’s front legs only
A rear wheel wheelchair is the most commonly needed wheelchair for most dogs. This style of cart acts as a replacement for a dog’s back legs. A wheel is directly underneath each rear leg, in line with the hip, providing balanced support so a dog can stand and walk while assisted.
