Dog Wheelchairs: A Social Gathering For Pets

By Kathryn Cervancia


That is definitely not a typographical error. We did intend to state "wheeled-pets get-togethers;" by this, we imply an laid-back get together of mobility-challenged pets and their families. That being said, why would a meeting like this be useful to pets and their human caretakers?

Uniting with other dog lovers, particularly those whose pets have experienced or are going through similar issues will undoubtedly be beneficial to every one. To those people whose dogs are even now adjusting to their disability, becoming familiar with a dog wheelchair, or some other mobility support, being able to meet other people who may have similar experiences can be encouraging. Not only that, having a chance to interact socially as well they gather and give each other handy advice that could help out alleviate any sense of dread and of becoming overwhelmed.

For the pets themselves, they too, get to socialize. Their owners won't be the only ones doing some mingling. Pets new to dog wheelchairs will get a chance to see others in the same mobility aid. This can boost their confidence in handling their own apparatuses. Feelings of insecurity or despondence at the loss of the ability to move about under their own power are common in pets stricken with such challenges. Circulating among others in the same situation can allow pets and their owners to address these as well as the more obvious, the physical aspect.

Aside from meeting other pet owners and their wheelchair-bound dogs, a get together is a great place to learn about and exchange information about services and other need-to-know items regarding your special needs pets. Joining an event like this would be great especially for pet owners who have yet to equip their pets with dog wheelchairs. They can get a personal preview and see for themselves how pets move around in a dog wheelchair and even more important, they can ask other pet owners for feedback regarding the particular brands they went with; whether they decided to go for a do-it-yourself, custom made, or pre-made adjustable ones.

Living with a mobility-challenged dog is difficult. Look after both your dog and yourselves and loosen up with some other pet households. You as well as your pets have earned it.
