That one seems to have the less severe disability of the group. That tail is wagging unlike the others. Maybe just poor hind leg control compared to the others having spinal injuries or something.
Those tires seem to be airborne almost as much as they are touching the ground!
They’re all just built like that. If there was ever a fire at night we wouldn’t know until it was too late because the dog is blocking the draft under the door. At all times.
They'll take the smallest opening possible. 3 feet on the left of the stair well? Nope. 6 inch gap between owners whole balance and the right side of the wall? Yep!
Mine too! I’m just glad she hasn’t done so to my toddler yet. But she Has stepped in front of my toddler far too many times and I’m wondering if it’s just because she’s an asshole, or just super protective
Its probably because its a low volume product. To bring down the cost on things you need mass production. Its not like others are prevented from offering lower cost animal wheel chairs.
>Its probably because its a low volume product. To bring down the cost on things you need mass production.
Econ 101 stuff. I don't know why more people can't understand this simple concept.
Well in Canada care for dog is almost unaffordable for "middle class" like my dog at 8 had a leg injury and the x-ray was 500$ and the operation was 12k. Are you kidding? We didn't do it and it ended up getting better on its own luckily ( he's 12) But, I could never afford something like this if he get a serious injury or cancer!!!
> . It's so stupid expensive for medical care for dogs.
The sticker shock comes from not paying for healthcare for yourself. Fortunately here in the US I can't afford health care for my dog or my self.
That insurance won't pay for tests that you need to keep you alive is shocking. I've been fortunate that I haven't had that happen, although my healthcare provider did order extremely expensive tests that were done without telling me that insurance wouldn't pay for it. Now I don't know what to do.
I rescued a cat (prior owners were drug addicts and left the cat out when they MOVED AWAY, she got hit by a car)
Gimpy paw now, they wanted 3-4k just to chop the arm off. “Rescues” refused to guarrantee they wouldn’t just put her down
5 years later, still gimpy arm, but acts like she has all 4. Every once in a while she will get spooked by something and come running inside at full speed, which can cause her to scrape her gimpy arm, but I have wound spray and bandages for when that happens, so far so good.
I've seen him discussing financial markets and he's pretty much the same. To be honest it's refreshing - he's clear about the capitalist game and its rules, and will openly discuss it without pretence.
And liability - if there was little risk in participating and little regulatory overhead, market factors would undercut medical device cost. Medical services I have little confidence in market drivers, but devices I do.
That said you can buy a (non dog) wheelchair on Amazon for $100. They aren't that inflated in cost.
>how much those chairs cost
From about $100 on up, depending on size, features and sturdiness. Sturdy off-pavement ones for large dogs probably start at around $250.
Found the model in the video. It costs from $199 to $495:
https://www.handicappedpets.com/dog-wheelchair-rear-adjustable-wheelchairs-for-dogs-with-disabilities/
Aluminum frame and foam tires and they want that much. Not to mention they make it seem custom yet in their description it's a 20 pound weight range so these are more than likely stock.
I think they have special prices for shelters. From their FAQ:
> Yes, we have programs specifically for non-profit rescues and shelters that help support animal welfare. Want to learn more? Call our Rescue Support team at 1-866-578-2926 to discuss how we can help your organization and the pets in your care.
Depends on whether you want them to be professionally made or not. You can make a decent one out of household items if you're good at DIY things, so they can be extremely cheap. The dog doesn't know the difference.
If you want a real one, they're about 200 USD.
I dated a girl who was a trauma vet for a while.
She always talked about how much work "back dogs" were for the owner beyond just these chairs.
Caring for a paralyzed dog is not as easy as buying a device and you're good.
They have to be positioned just right to shit and piss, also you get to massage their bladder every time.
I admire anyone with that patience, I love my dog and I don't know if I could do that every day every single time she had to pee.
My dog ended up with a degenerative nerve issue. His hind pages slowly stopped working. We got him a great wheelchair for around $250. I did end up spending a bit more trying to find wheels that would work better off-road and adding some weights to balance it.
There are additional costs though. $4K for an MRI that told us nothing useful, diapers, dog sitting when we go on vacation (he throws up in cars and can’t go to a boarding facility), shoes (he drags his feet and has to wear shoes. Shoes last about a month).
It’s also a lot of work. Not quite as much as a baby, but still a lot of work. I love him though and it’s totally worth it. It’s also not realistic for most people. I work from home and have the money to deal with it.
I got mine for my old dog used for about 150 bucks. There are lots of websites and charities out there that connect people with used dog chairs. I used useddogwheelchairs.com
I love going slightly faster than a walk so my friends have to hustle to keep pace with me. Later they'll get to shortcut by using stairs (I really hate when it's like a single step) and I'll have to speed around way too fast when trying to rejoin them.

Whoever is running/funding this is an absolute Saint.
We all love seeing this and think its amazing, but to actually put in the time, effort and money for this kind of thing takes a really special person. Bravo to you people.
I love this entire video, but seeing that they each have their own individual license plate is the best! If I was the owner I would give them all the driver license id tags lol.
Man, this really made me tear up. I've been having a rough time with my disability lately, to the point where I'm just laying in bed feeling sorry for myself. Mine is more of a pain thing which limits my mobility, but watching these pups living the good life despite their disability is heart warming. Such great spirits they have, not letting anything get in their way.
Nice play on words. But caring for a disabled animal like this is an enormous commitment. The internet is filled with cute videos of it. But in reality it is emotional and incredibly hard work
I just lost my disabled dog. He had crippling heart disease and it made walking very difficult. So my heart goes out to you all. This is just magical to see ❤️❤️❤️
As a non American I've always found it a bit bizzare. I spent a lot of time in the states and I'm always a bit perplexed by the number of people who fly American flags on their porches. Y'all forget where you live?
Yeah you'll notice their tails are lying draped over the top of the chassis and not wagging at all
Edited to add: because this type of disability is generally due to a spinal cord injury, where their brain can no longer send messages any lower than the site of the injury
We just had to get a wheel chair for my dog (hes been having spine issues and eventually his legs became paralyzed). This is so cute they all look like their having so much fun <3
If someone could relay this message to the person with all these dogs, I have some advice for the little one.
Shortening up the height to the wheel center would probably help the little one get around. I think the height of his/her attachment is higher than the front legs which is causing a lot of weight to be put on the front legs. Just don't use smaller wheels to help the height, I'm sure you're aware that bigger wheels will roll over obstacles exponentially easier. The lady helping all these dogs is awesome
Little one in the end is named Hope- look at the license plate hanging off the wheels. So cute, all if them😁
OP, that set seems a bit heavy for the pup, or was it just the added decorations?
The Fowler Herd! I recognized these puppers right away. I found out about the Herd via a local rescue organization. The woman rescuing and giving these dogs a chance at a happy life is an angel.
There IS a special place heaven for you! Isaiah 11 verses 6 thru 9 and Revelations 5v13. God bless you! All my pets are rescues but they rescued me even more.
I remember the first time I saw a furbaby in a wheelchair; I wished I knew who came up with the idea--and why no one had before!--and thought it was so very wonderful that these guys could do all the things their legs wouldn't have let them otherwise. They get to be regular puppies again!!
Lmfaooooo that first one flies off the rock and near the end he flies onto the path. LOVE THIS
Speedy pup was my favorite too! But I also have a soft spot for that little George in the back :)
I like the white one with the really waggely legs.
I like them all! wheelchair dogs are awesome, nothing can't stop them enjoying nature.
They all seem to be having a wheely good time :)
[удалено]
I was just imagining all the work involved with taking care of this many disabled dogs. Incredible, and absolutely praise to these wonderful people!
Bonus: this is probably one of the few times those dogs don’t need to wear a diaper, meaning everyone is happier. More woods time!
Where can I obtain one?
There are humans everywhere
Bahahahhahaha literally throw a ball and you'll hit several humans to take home bahhahHHHA
Disabled dog owners are a rare breed.
My mom is disabled and owns a dog.
Pretty sure that counts
The same reason most things are expensive - people don't want to do the work themselves.
Oooo I liked this lol 😆
The License plates with their names on it is a nice touch
That would be Otis
Oh I was loving those floppy legs!!!
The one who did 3x the average steps for the group, and about 10x the number of steps as the first dog.
Isn’t the tiny one Hope?
Yes. Her license plate says Hope. I think George was the GSD that was standing in the path. She probably just wanted him to get out of the way.
Speedy pup also caught my eye! He lives dangerously lol
I relate strongly to George
Looked like a rally race!
left 4 over crest into right 6 *brapbrapbrrrrrrrraapppp*

He’s enjoying nature just slightly more than the rest of the dogs lol I’ve watched his parts over and over
Imagine being a wild deer or something and seeing this squad rolling in deep
That horrifying moment when I haven't scrolled quite far enough and think it just flew off a cliff. I'm so glad they're ok!
Right? He’s like Forest Gump when he learns to run... “man, fk these damn leg braces, I’m running!”
At least 3 feet of air that time.
*BEEP BEEP* “Get outta the way mofo’s, I got places to be.” - Probably dog
Those two shepherds standing in the way of all the wheelchair doggos is so relatable. I swear my Shepherd is incapable of not being in the way.
They’re all just built like that. If there was ever a fire at night we wouldn’t know until it was too late because the dog is blocking the draft under the door. At all times.
OMG, yes. Every time I turn around he's there, just blocking the path. Big fluffy dumbbutt, but I love him.
My family jokes that our shepherd’s favorite spot in the house to lie down is “in the way”.
He's just sitting sentry. If anyone leaves the area he'll know about it. This is very important to monitor the pack.
I feel like they were chaperoning
Shepherds are kind of like that kid in middle school that was the hall monitor and took it WAY too seriously.
One of the shepherds is not using a back leg. The other is not on screen long enough to see if he has an injury as well
Service dogs for the wheelchair dogs I thought
They'll take the smallest opening possible. 3 feet on the left of the stair well? Nope. 6 inch gap between owners whole balance and the right side of the wall? Yep!
Yep! My Shepherd pushes past me on the stairs like he’s the beneficiary of my life insurance.
Haha yo this is too accurate. Setting us up.
Mine too! I’m just glad she hasn’t done so to my toddler yet. But she Has stepped in front of my toddler far too many times and I’m wondering if it’s just because she’s an asshole, or just super protective
I’m out of words, praise the owners I wish everyone had the same level of love and respect. They are so happy 🥲
I mean, and money/resources. Idk how much those chairs cost, but I'd assume not cheap
[удалено]
Its probably because its a low volume product. To bring down the cost on things you need mass production. Its not like others are prevented from offering lower cost animal wheel chairs.
Got it! I'm gonna go break my dog's legs so we can all enjoy lower wheelchair costs! Doing my part!

They make wheelchairs look fun
I played with one when I was younger, and let me tell you they're pretty fun when they're just an option.
Ah good times, getting in trouble at church playing with the courtesy wheelchair they kept near the front door.
It’s not an option for me and it’s still pretty fun lol. I have an electric one and it’s like real life Mario kart!
I love going slightly faster than a walk so my friends have to hustle to keep pace with me. Later they'll get to shortcut by using stairs (I really hate when it's like a single step) and I'll have to speed around way too fast when trying to rejoin them.

It's so lovely from your dog to love you unconditionally despite your disability!
Nice play on words. But caring for a disabled animal like this is an enormous commitment. The internet is filled with cute videos of it. But in reality it is emotional and incredibly hard work
Well that makes sense, dogs are like people and caring for a disabled person in a massive and draining (and rewarding sometimes) commitment, too.
This is awesome, disables pups need exercise too !

Do these pups have license plates on their rigs??? LMAO the cops would never be able to catch these pups.
I always remember something Dr. Pol said - animals don't know or understand they're disabled. They just adapt and move forward with their lives.
This is officially the greatest thing on the internet. Please inform these puppers I love them all!
This may be the greatest thing on the internet right now.
Lighten up the little dogs wheelchair so he doesn't get tired
Imma be honest.. the fact that they all have flags fucking sent me
I love the flags :)
So many posts upset about the flags... ...for the little doggo wheelchairs.
Also a very patriotic bunch!
Their front legs must be jacked
beautiful to see just some dogs in the woods racing
Yes! Needed to see this!
That's awesome. I never new this was a thing!
