The front end stays strong and willing; it is the hips that stop starting. Those dogs do not need carrying. They need a hand under the back end for the first few steps, and again at the curb, and again at the back door. A dog sling for back legs does exactly that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSwift is that and nothing more. A soft knit panel sits over the hips, two loops pass around the hind legs, and a detachable padded handle lets you take as much or as little of his weight as he needs that day. The front of the dog is left completely free, so he still walks. He is just not doing all of it alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is light enough to leave on between yard trips and small enough to go in a coat pocket.

It is the morning you realize the walk has become you carrying the back half of a dog who still badly wants to go. A dog wheelchair for back legs gives that walk back: the frame takes the weight his hind legs cannot, his front legs do the driving, and he goes where he was going anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFalcon is a two-wheel rear-support dog wheelchair with an aircraft-grade aluminum frame rated to 143 lb, so it covers everything from a spaniel to a shepherd. It adjusts in three directions, length, height and width, because a dog's measurements are his own and a frame that nearly fits is a frame that rubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDogs work it out faster than owners expect, usually inside a day or two, because the alternative was not going at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Falcon works for dogs with hind-leg weakness\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated to 143 lb\u003c\/strong\u003e — one frame covers spaniels through shepherds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjusts in length, height and width\u003c\/strong\u003e — fitted to the dog, not the other way around, so it does not rub.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAircraft-grade aluminum alloy frame\u003c\/strong\u003e — light enough for him to pull, stiff enough to hold the back end level.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePadded mesh body sling with chest straps\u003c\/strong\u003e — the weight sits on soft tissue that can take it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear paw stirrups, up or down\u003c\/strong\u003e — hold dragging paws off the ground, or leave them down so he uses what strength is left.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpoked wheels with solid tires\u003c\/strong\u003e — grass, gravel, paths and indoors, with nothing to puncture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArrives part-built\u003c\/strong\u003e — you finish the fit on your dog.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear-support, two wheels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHind-leg weakness or paralysis, good front-end strength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e143 lb (65 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAircraft-grade aluminum alloy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdjusts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength, height and width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHarness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePadded mesh body sling with chest straps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWheels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpoked, solid tire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear paws\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStirrup loops, up or down\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSurfaces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrass, gravel, paths and indoors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAssembly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrame arrives part-built, fitted to your dog\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWill it fit your dog?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake three measurements before you order: floor to the top of the hips, hip width, and shoulder to the base of the tail.
