Getting your dog to use it
- Measure before you orderHip height, hip width, shoulder to tail. Send them with a photo. We would rather talk you out of the wrong chair than process a return.
- Fit it empty, then fit it on himSet the rough adjustment with the frame on the floor, then fine-tune with him standing in it. His spine should stay level - not tipped up at the back.
- Ten minutes on grass, not a walkShort sessions, you alongside, somewhere soft. Most dogs have it by the third go. Build up from there.
Warranty
- Frames & hardware
- 5 years from delivery
- Covers, foam & fabric
- 1 year from delivery
Covers manufacturing faults — a weld, a hinge, a frame that fails in normal use, a seam or a zip that goes. We repair it, send the part, or replace the piece.
It doesn't cover chewing, scratching, damage from misuse, or anything loaded past its stated weight limit. Nor does it cover normal wear: sisal fraying is the post doing its job, and carpet treads mat down with use.

He still wants to go. That is the whole problem.
A dog whose back legs have gone has not lost interest in the walk. He has lost the back half of the machine. A rear-support frame returns it, and he does the rest himself.

About Falcon Dog Wheelchair for Back Legs, Adjustable Frame Rated to 143 lb
The hard part is not the diagnosis. 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.
Falcon 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.
Dogs work it out faster than owners expect, usually inside a day or two, because the alternative was not going at all.

- Padded mesh body sling with chest strapsthe weight sits on soft tissue that can take it.
- Rear paw stirrups, up or downhold dragging paws off the ground, or leave them down so he uses what strength is left.
- Spoked wheels with solid tiresgrass, gravel, paths and indoors, with nothing to puncture.
- Arrives part-builtyou finish the fit on your dog.

Will it fit your dog?
Take three measurements before you order: floor to the top of the hips, hip width, and shoulder to the base of the tail. The frame adjusts in all three directions but not without limit, so send us the numbers and a photo and we will confirm the fit before you buy. It is not right for a dog whose front legs are also weak; that dog needs a four-wheel chair, so ask us first.
Questions about a dog wheelchair for back legs
Is my dog a candidate for a rear-support wheelchair?
Rear-leg weakness or paralysis with good front-end strength. Degenerative myelopathy, hip dysplasia, a spinal injury, advanced arthritis. If his front legs are also going, a four-wheel chair is the right answer instead. Ask us before you order.
How do I measure my dog for the wheelchair?
Three numbers: floor to the top of the hips, hip width, and the distance from his shoulder to the base of his tail. Send them to us with a photo and we will tell you whether this frame covers him. The weight limit is 143 lb.
How long before he uses it?
Most dogs take a few short sessions. Ten minutes, on grass, with you walking alongside. Do not start with a full walk.
Can he use his back legs in it?
Yes. The stirrups can hold the paws up off the ground if he is dragging, or you can leave them down so he uses whatever strength is left. For most dogs, leaving them down is better for as long as it is working.
Does it work on grass, and how do I clean it?
Grass, gravel, paths and indoors. It is not a beach or deep-mud chair. Wipe the aluminum frame down after a muddy walk and let the mesh sling air dry.
