How do I measure my Dog for a Wheel Chair?

This is one of the most common question we get asked.

The Small chairs need only 3 simple measurements and the the larger wheelchairs only one simple measurement, but before you order, measure, then measure again , then measure one more time. As we say, measuring doesn’t cost a thing, but shipping does. We want you to get the right one the first time.

MEASURING FOR MINIS & SMALL WALKIN’ WHEEL CHAIRS

Dimensions required to fit a standard Small or Mini Wheelchair:
(If your pet’s dimensions fall a bit out of this range, give us a call to confirm if an adjustment can be made to fit your pet into a small.) Corgi carts aren’t just for Corgi’s. They are for dogs between the mini and small measurements.

HERE is the link to the page you need once you have your measurements done (you’ve taken them three times now, right?)

Your Dog Can’t Stand up to be measured? Try this:

If your dog cannot stand, you can measure the fold of the flank when he is lying on his side. In order to get an accurate measurement, position the dog’s rear leg in a normal standing position: knee joint and hock joint will be slightly bent. Bend the dog’s foot at his ankle (like it would be if he was standing on his foot). In this picture the yardstick shows a FOF of 18 inches.

Do NOT stretch the dog’s leg and foot out as this will add several inches to the fold of flank and give you an inaccurate measurement.
