Guest guest Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Just wondering if anyone has experience with the walkin' wheels dog carts that can be sold over the counter through clinics. We are considering keeping some in stock since it often takes 3 - 6 weeks for carts to arrive here (in Canada) for our patients. It would also allow us to rent them short term for those pets who do not need the cart for extended periods. Any info and pros and cons would be greatly appreciated.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 That is a practice that my friend from Gilbert Arizona at Canine Rehabilitation Center of the Southwest. He has quite a selection of all sizes. He rents, lends, sells and accepts hand-me-downs. It is great to have them In the clinic and be able to fit them right on the spot. Eventually if the owners want to purchase one, they can give the loaner back.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 For very short-term use they might be ok but we have had a few larger dogs show-up in them that the owner's had bought for longterm use and they were kinda shakey and just not as stable. If a pet needs a longterm one an actual cart is probably best. > > Just wondering if anyone has experience with the walkin' wheels dog carts that can be sold over the counter through clinics.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 For the big dogs they will drill another hole and give you two longer screws. This makes it more stable. Also, if you are having problems with stability make sure all of the little screws are tight, it makes a big difference.
