Growing up in my house often felt like living in a zoo. We had a whole menagerie of animals--dogs, cats, birds, snakes, hamsters, gerbils--there are too many to even list.

One of the most memorable moments in my life was when I gave my dog his first dog wheelchair. Coco, my golden retriever, became a paralyzed dog when a neighbor inadvertently backed a car on the old dog. He barely survived the accident and when he did, he was unable to use some of his limbs. And it was such a painful time for me and my dog.But thanks dog wheelchairs makers, Coco may be a paralyzed dog but when he sits on his wheelchair, he is no more paralyzed, he has become accustomed to the dog wheelchair so fast that he moves as if it were a natural part of his body.Dog wheelchairs allow your paralyzed dogs to live happy, fruitful lives once again. Just like humans, they just need understanding during the first weeks that they are trying to grow familiar with the dog wheelchair.

So it is all about complete understanding and patience. And you will see soon enough that because of your fortitude and your dog's perseverance, mobility will cease to be an issue...more
