Readjustments

I highly recommend getting help from the HandicappedPets.com staff while adjusting the chair for your pets needs.  I set Sierra up but I wasn’t confident I had everything right.  In the first photograph I sent, I had the front harness on the outside of her front legs instead of the inside (I knew that was wrong, but didn’t see it). A second pair of eyes ensured that I didn’t make the same mistake twice.

At first, I had the wheels straight up and down, which is better for dogs with strong legs.  I readjusted it so they were slightly backwards.  This seemed easier for Sierra.

Next, I was asked to put the height up one notch.  It did seem that Sierra was leaning on her back leg a bit too much.  The higher notch took off some of the strain.

It’s really a live and learn experience.  One week it might seem right and then a slight adjustment is necessary.

I’m still debating on the belly belt.  If I ever figure out how to attach it to the chair, I might put it on ;)
