Some dogs use their carts all the time, or most of it, indoors and out. It’s also often easier, if you have to express your dog, to do it in the cart.Ĭan my dog use the cart indoors? Yes. Sometimes female dogs do get a bit of urine on the cart, and diarrhea can end up getting on the cart, but for the most part it is a clean, easy way for the dog to eliminate. It may be easier for him or her to do his business in the cart, even if he is still able to get about without it. Ask your veterinarian if your dog’s back is stable enough for a cart, though, and don’t overdo it before he is strong enough.Ĭan my dog pee and poop in the cart? Yes. Not only does it help his back by keeping it in alignment and supported, it will also save your back. If you don’t think your dog will need one for long, go with a rental cart, but a cart is one of the best things you can do to rehab your dog after a spinal cord injury. Consider humans- are they told to drag themselves around the floor until their back heals enough to allow walking? NO!! They are given walkers.

If they can’t move without a cart they will eventually decide to move with one, and walking in a cart, rear legs free to move, is great rehab. What about rehab after a disk rupture? Some people are told their dog will be dependent on a cart and not want to walk. Getting a cart early also prevents your dog from developing funny gaits that may make using the cart difficult later. (Bribes did not work the same way.) On the other hand, my corgi Wes liked his cart as soon as we went to the beach- forget walks in the neighborhood but he wanted to go to the beach badly enough to start walking. By the time he truly needed it, he was fairly comfortable in it, but it wasn’t until I started using a clicker and treats that he really started enjoying walks in the cart. Then I began carrying it on walks and putting him in it when his feet started to drag or he started to tire.

He learned to associate it with food (always a positive experience for a corgi!) and that he could stay on his feet in it. Then you can start with a short time in the cart. If your dog can no longer walk at all, it’s time (or past time.) But if your dog is still walking and just getting slowly worse, when do you go to a cart? I recommend getting the cart before you really need it, and start acclimating your dog to it. When should I get a cart? This isn’t the easiest question to answer.
