A low cost, sport utility dog wheel chair for medium to large sized dogs, the DwaneCart is designed to use the largest wheels for best all terrain travel. It employs a concept much like that of a Roman chariot, transferring a small portion of the overall weight (~1-2 lb) onto the dogs front legs. This cart can be purchased with or without the 20" wheels, and is available in two size ranges to provide the best possible fit.
Sizes:
Medium - Best for average sized Retrievers, German Shephards and narrow hipped breeds like
Pit Bulls (may require additional padding)

(b) supports an overall rear width of 7 to 9.5 inches
(c) groin to ground clearance of 14 to 20 inches
(d) will support a maximum rear leg girth up to 18 inches
(e) 20 to 24 inches wheelbase (depending on swing axle position and height selection)

(c) groin to ground clearance of 17 to 23 inches

a = length
b = rear width
c = groin to ground height
d = rear leg girth
Features:
- high strength to weight ratio with an all welded frame capable
of supporting up to 150 lb
- large cambered wheel arrangement reduces rolling friction
over rough terrain and provides optimum lateral support
while running on a turn
- multi-position swing axle adjusts to proportion the amount of rear leg support and overall balance
- useful for rehabilitation or permanently disabled pets
- saddle sides are independently supported to permit unobstructed urination
- easily wipeable and replaceable foam padding, very handy for dogs with hip displacia & spine degeneration that may have also lost urinary control as well
- dissassembles into a small space
- not constructed using flimsy PVC pipe, plastic wheels or chafing leg straps
- the front brace can be swung out to the side like a bicycle stand, so you can independantly step the dog's rear legs into the padded saddle, then swing the front piece over the front shoulders and telescopically adjust the length.
- constructed like an old fashioned bicycle - welded... crap doesn't cut it when you are trying to place your dog in a wheelchair.
