Wheels for dog

    So my dog(25kg Airedale) is deteriorating due to Degenerative Myelopathy he was diagnosed with earlier this year. When I say deteriorating his back legs are losing their coordination and he can fall over a good bit.

    Now he's not in a bit of pain and for a 10 year old he's in mighty nick, very alert, sprightly and like pup really. Oh for his feckin back legs

    So I'm looking at getting wheels to help him get around a bit easier. Has anyone any experience of them or know where I could get them?

    It's a new stage of his life but while he's not in any pain or discomfort I'm going to do what I can to give him his best life.

    Thanks.

    If you take a look on FB - there’s a charity called Winstons Wheels that loan them - they might be able to give you advice on where to source them or hopefully have somebody in ireland with them. I have a buggy for Bailey and it’s one of the best things I ever got him! It lets me take him on a longer walk every day and basically push him for half the walk and he walks the rest.

    Thanks for that. Was onto them there. They only ship to NI unfortunately and didn't know anywhere here that supplies them. I'll keep looking.

    Can you use AddressPal to get them shipped here?
    Amazon UK have them and ship here. https://www.amazon.co.uk/ANMAS-POWER-Wheelchair-Mobility-Harness/dp/B07DPNG151/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=Mobility%2BDog%2BWheelchair&qid=1624450883&refinements=p_76%3A419158031&rnid=419157031&rps=1&s=pet-supplies&sr=1-5&th=1

    Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.

    oh hey! Can you tell me which buggy you got and what size dog you have? Been looking around for our golden retriever, he has three legs and he's grand but he tires on walks, a buggy would be ideal and enable him to keep up with his younger 4 legged brother who likes the longer walks.
