Care has to be taken in evaluating a pet with an arthritic condition, as pets adapt to their disabilities by sometimes walking with legs splayed out to the side and have their own way of balancing themselves. When we place them in a cart we are giving them total support and asking them to walk in a straight direction which initially is sometimes hard for them to do as they have been walking in different ways to accommodate their arthritis. We suggest placing slings under each leg to simulate the leg ring support afforded by the cart and see if they will walk along well with this help. If in any doubt as to your pet’s adaptability to handle a cart, send us a video for evaluation by our experts.
