Needed Help Moving 65# Dog Who Suddenly Lost Use of Back Legs
My arthritic Greyhound suddenly went from going where she wanted to go with a slight limp and occasionally knuckling over to losing total use of her right rear leg and impaired use of the left - in less than a day. Our problem was how to get her down three steps to access the back yard when she needs to. The picture was taken during her maiden voyage, she actually looks much happier in it now that she understands our plan.
There are many makers of collapsible wagons that come with different interior sizes and features, and Mac Sports Collapsible Outdoor Utility Wagon has the largest interior that we could find. It seems well built and sturdy. The two U shaped handles (to which we attached leashes to help keep her safe and secure while getting familiar with using it) at the front and back are perfect for our purposes to lift the front and rear of the wagon over door thresholds and onto the dog ramps (we used two next to each other to accommodate it's width) to access the outdoors. The fold down tray on the back has cup and cell phone holders and the front has two mesh pockets to hold water bottles and small necessities. Right now for us, they are ideal to hold our Mutt Mitts (also available on Amazon) and extra paper towels. The 8" x 1½" wide wheels make it easy to use with a heavy load on uneaven and soft surfaces.
