Will a larger version of this wheelchair work for a Lab' with only one rear leg?

It's very light weight and is ideal for my dog who only weighs 12 pounds and I have a larger dog who weighs about 50lbs and is very active and loves to run and if he needed a wheelchair this would not be type I would purchase, he would break it pretty quickly, he would need a much sturdier wheelchair. Your dog will be so much happier being able to be mobile on it's own, I wished I had bought the wheelchair months before as it's a great price and does the job for my dog but I wouldn't hesitate to shell out the extra money for a sturdier frame for my bigger dog if he ever needed one.

I think a larger version would work great for recovery. I used this for my chihuahua who paralyzed herself, so both of her legs do not work well. If the dog is already healed, it will not really do much good in my opinion.

I think it would be worth a try. Labs are very smart and am fairly sure it would work.

I would think so. I presume your dog has a section of the upper leg which could sit in the leg holder. Our dog is thrilled with the new mobility the wheelchair offers. Good luck.

Yes, I think this chair will work for your Lab, although you may have to take him/her for a walk while in the chair with a leash. My little dog broke his back and its amazing the way he has adapted to the new way of life, it may take a lot patience and will power on your part, but it will work. Debi Leslie

Yes, I also have an extra wide wheelchair. It worked out great we recently took it on a trip to New Orleans and I put my purse in it.

I returned it. Too small and I am glad I did. My dog is starting to walk after his surgury and I am sure this would have hampered it. I bought a wheelchair instead. The drawbacks to the wheelchair is that the dog cannot sit down and rest at any time and needs to be removed for a break.

These are designed for regular wheelchairs where the front wheels are the same axel width as the back wheels. My brother has a motorized wheel chair, the front wheels are narrower than the back. I could not use this product for his chair. Also, I would not use this ramp to elevate for more than two steps

I would say yes with a little strategy and maneuvering. Maybe a small table behind the wheelchair it can be done.

yes a person can propel chair with one leg. NO they cannot lock brakes unless they have long arms

It's not a problem. The footrests meet in the middle with only a small gap. I've experienced that with the regular wheelchairs. She should be comfortable with this model.

A normal wheelchair, yes, but I would seek another solution. This is not well made.

Yes if you can get a good fit. My dog is a mix of poodle and wiener dog so he a has short stumble legs and it was not a good fit for him. I presume that if the fit is good your dog would benefit from the additional support.

Most definitely, if that's an option. This one is the full-sized one. I use it on my 70lb Labrador.

There is a screw-hole in the clic-gear unit that the umbrella holder threads into. So the holder would only work with a wheelchair if the wheelchair had the proper size screw fitting

No, it is designed only for a chair with a hard seat. I wish there was one that would work with a wheelchair, but this needs a hard surface and a fairly large seat.

If you mean one of those extra-wide wheelchairs, probably not. The straps won't read around anything wider than a standard chair.

It depends completely on the seat width, I find that I can squeeze into some pretty narrow spots at times, though my service dog is a klutz (j/k, more like a bull in a china shop) it is a very easy to maneuver wheelchair, fully open I measured it to be 22 inches wide, Blessed Be

Yes it will definitely work with a wheelchair. Although like anything else , your clothes will shift every couple of hours . Just make adjustments acorddenly

Yes. The frame will adjust both in width and in leg height. This helps for different size individuals and toilets. Works great for my handicapped son.

Because the legs elevate, it's still pretty bulky when collapsed. Might want to look at one with fixed legs that is lighter and smaller. Seemed easy to put together but I work in healthcare and have dealt with wheelchairs of all types for 25 years.
