The K-9 Carts West wheelchair is the only cart designed and tested by an Orthopedic Veterinary Surgeon with over forty years of experience in the Veterinary Field. Our new design incorporates many new features including extremely light weight materials, contouring stable pelvic support system, rehabilitative leg slings, and virtually unlimited design variations.

• The only patented pet wheelchair with three patents on the designs.
• Ultra light weight to ease the strain on the animal.
• Perfectly balanced to make motion easier and safer.
• Alleviates joint stress to relieve pain and protect joint integrity.
• Front weakness designs for those animals with front limb problems.
• Easily adjusted with an allen wrench which is provided.
• Stable conforming cable leg rings for pelvic support -- essential for proper functioning internal organs.
• Virtually any mobility problem can be addressed with special designs or modifications.
• Flexible, adjustable leg slings to protect the legs and feet of the animal.
• Height, length and width adjustable to accomodate fitting, weight gains or growth.

• High strength to weight ratio -- Ultra-light weight but exceptionally strong tubular aluminum construction. Our new design is 1/3 the weight of previous models while the new aluminum tubing is far more rigid.

• Aligns the spine and removes joint stress -- All carts keep the back and joints in alignment while removing stress from the joints and are a proven rehabilitation device.

• State of the Art Construction -- All of the materials incorporated in this design are extremely corrosion resistant and will withstand years of tough use.

• Contouring stable pelvic support -- The leg rings consist of a soft flexing foam ring with a semi-rigid wire core that molds itself to your pet's pelvis for a truly custom fit while providing necessary stable support. Our pelvic support system is designed and tested by a Veterinary Orthopedic Surgeon.

• Flexible Straps -- Straps are made out of nylon webbing for a contoured fit covered with soft padding.

• Rehabilitative Leg Slings -- Leg slings are included with every cart which flex and move with the pet for rehabilitation. The webbing straps move naturally with your pet's rear legs.

• Adjustability -- Each cart is easily height, width and length adjustable for weight bearing adjustment and perfect fit with tools provided.

• Folds Flat For Shipping and Carrying -- Carts are shipped folded in a small box to save shipping costs, and assemble in minutes with provided tools. Detailed instructions are included with your cart, and as always we have qualified staff to help answer any questions you may have.

• Does Not inhibit Your Pet's Functions -- Pets are able to urinate and defecate while in the cart.

• Pelvic Support for Amputees -- Any of our cart designs can be built specifically for rear amputees with additional padding and support depending on the individual case.
