HOMEMADE DOG WHEEL CHAIR DESIGNS

Looking for some homemade dog wheel chair designs? Here is our guide to current offerings on the web:

SMALL DOGS
Handipet's Homemade Cart
This is a PVC cart designed with a canvas sling for a small dog who has trouble with at least 3 or all 4 legs. Very clear photos. Unfortunately, the link to the instructions no longer works.

MEDIUM DOGS....***NEW DESIGN*** OCTOBER 2009
Doggywheels
This blog describes the materials and construction steps to make a simple wheelchair for a dog requiring physical support due to injury or illness. You may be able to adjust it to fit a larger or smaller dog...

LARGE DOGS
Bergins Dog Wheel Chair Design
Bergins' wheel chair designed for Raks, a German Shepherd, using square aluminum tubing for the frame. The wheels are angled inward to prevent tipping over.

Kid Johns Cart
This design uses large, skinny bicycle tires and a more forward axle, which Kid John’s owner claims provides a more balanced, stable wheelchair. Geared toward large dogs with rear leg problems. He includes drawings with instructions as well as photos with arrows showing various parts of the wheelchair.

Ozo's Cart
In this case, 16-inch wheels are used from a jogging stroller to assist Ozo, who has problems with his rear legs. A figure-eight support is used with the loops around the upper part of the dog’s legs. Good tips on padding.

Harlequin Haven Great Dane Rescue: Building A Wheelchair
The idea behind this design it to modify a used human wheelchair ($20 to $30 at thrift stores) for use by large dogs with problems in either the rear or front legs. The former wheelchair seat is used as a sling underneath the dog's torso.

ANY SIZE
Quad Cart Design
Quad cart designs for small, medium and large dogs. Not very clear. You will need to dig through the instructions to figure these out. May work for someone with a fair amount of experience building things.
