4 BASIC MEASUREMENTS

We only require 4 basic measurements. Please, just do the best as you can, and our expert staff will take it from there. As always, every K9 Cart Wheelchair is custom built, highly adjustable, and guaranteed to fit.

  1. Height from top of back to ground.
  2. Length between mid-point of hips and shoulders.
  3. Width of body straight across at widest point.
  4. Girth or circumference around the body at widest point.

Note: Your K9 Carts representative will now provide you with an initial fitting length, height, and width, aligned with our new laser-etched reference markings. These allow for quick and easy adjustments without the need for manual measuring. Just follow the markings, as shown in the product images.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the laser-etched size markings on my cart for?

Each part of your K9 Cart—like the side bars and wheel blades—is now laser-etched with size reference markings. These markings match the custom measurements you provide during ordering.
When your cart ships, it will already be pre-set to those measurements. All you need to do is attach the wheel blades and adjust the height based on the etched markings we provide.

Can my pet go to the bathroom in the cart?

Absolutely. Our support system is uniquely designed to allow pets to be able to urinate and defecate freely while in their cart.

Can my pet lay down while in the cart?

Small pets like Corgis, Dachshunds, and Pugs can lay down with the front end while in our rear support wheelchairs because they are low enough to the ground to not put any pressure on the back. Larger breeds cannot lay down as they would put too much of an angle and strain on the back; however our cart design allows pets to be taken in and out of the cart in a matter of seconds.

What if my measurements are off?

We guarantee our wheelchairs to fit. Although they are custom built specifically for your pet they will be adjustable in all directions. We also evaluate everything carefully before starting production and will notify you if we have any concerns about your measurements. In the rare event you’re unable to adjust it to fit, we will send you what’s needed to make it fit.

How long does it take to receive my pet’s wheelchair?

We typically try to build and ship in 1-2 business days after we receive the completed order but this can vary on how busy we are. We recommend contacting us to verify our current lead time.

Is the wheelchair adjustable?

Yes, our wheelchairs are fully adjustable in height, length, width and even the support system can be adjusted to your pet’s individual needs. Every cart is built specifically for the individual pet and guaranteed to fit.

Why should I choose K9 Carts for my wheelchair?

K9 Carts stands apart because we are the only company with a background in orthopedic medicine. Our carts were designed with decades of research in the medical field and our professional staff are here to help you. Buying your wheelchair from K9 Carts ensures your medical device for your pet is built and tested from a medically based company.

Can front support be added later on to a rear support wheelchair?

Yes, our front support kit can be added at any time down the road with no additional measurements needed.

Are the foot slings, or stirrups, for holding the rear legs up off the ground included or extra?

The foot slings are included with every wheelchair. These are for paralyzed pets that have no use of their rear legs. Every part needed for your cart is included in the box.

Can my pet use stairs in their wheelchair?

Some pets can handle going down a step or two without having any issues as long as they have strong forelimb strength. To get up steps, you simply grab the back of the cart to help lift the wheels over the step. We recommend building a ramp for 3 steps or more.
