Best Friend Mobility Large Back Leg Dog Wheelchair | 2.0 Design | 2026 Updated Model

The product is of higher quality than I was expecting. Assembly was easy. The wheelchair is adjustable for length and height. The harnesses are adjustable in many ways to fit a variety of dogs. The manual needs work though. I ran into trouble regarding which way to install both the front harness and the sport harness. Nowhere in the manual does it say the red strap goes on the bottom side of the front harness. Nowhere does it say which way to orient the sport harness. I had to infer this from photos elsewhere in the manual. However, my 14-year-old Lab who can barely stand up on his own, is able to move about the yard with ease now. He is really funny, he tries to get away, so I won't put him in the wheelchair, but he is happy when he is in it. I did run into a little difficulty adjusting the wheelchair to fit my dog. He is tall for a lab and is at or a little above the upper limit of the large size wheelchair. But he is also very thin (frail) and I have the harnesses adjusted as small as they will go and wish they would go smaller. I fixed the height issue by finding some larger 20" wheels on Amazon and using those in place of the 14" wheels that came with the device. The original wheels fit a 1/2" axel but my new wheels are for a 5/8" axel. This was easily delt with by cutting a short piece of 1/2" CPVC tubing to use as an adaptor/bushing. This wheelchair is a life saver, as we were close to euthanizing our dog. I didn't want to euthanize him yet because he is still so motivated. He would drag himself all around the yard in an effort to keep up with our 13 year old Samoyed to bark at squirrels and such. Now he gets around with ease and never tips over. Now that he is using his legs more again he seems to be doing better even when not in his wheel chair. I wish I had purchased this for my dog a year ago before he deteriorated as much as he has. Yes, I would buy this product again, and yes, I recommend this product for anyone who has a dog with back leg/hip issues.

We bought this for our dog who suddenly lost all feeling in one back leg and most of the feeling in the other. She could not walk at all and could sometimes barely stabilize herself to do her business. We saw the reviews and were aware of the problem with the instructions before we bought it, but we also saw some youtube videos of other people using it successfully so we went ahead knowing about the possible challenges. Challenge #1: Getting the darn thing assembled right. The instructions seemed to make no sense along with the photos included. The whole thing seemed to be upside down if you assembled it like they were showing you. So we looked at the one being used on youtube and sure enough, they had assembled it upside down from what the instructions said to do. So that's what we did. The back bracket ends up being lower in height than the long rods that stick out the front. The clickable strap ends up going over the top of the dog. Challenge #2: Getting the dog into it. Once it is built the "right" way, then it is fairly obvious how to get the dog into the thing. You set the wheelchair on the ground and spread the front straps on the ground making them ready to receive the front legs. You lift the dog up and then as you are bringing it down, you guide the hind legs into the holes while making sure the tail goes behind and not into one of the leg holes. Then you bring the front of the dog down and guide the front legs between the straps that you laid out already. Make sure the rear legs are fully into their holes and bring up the front of the wheelchair and click the top strap over the top of the dog's back. Then if your dog has no control over its legs, lift them into the two straps to hold them back and up so they don't drag. Challenge #3: The leg wheel screws definitely seem to loosen up all too easily even when tightened down with pliers, thus causing one side of the wheelchair to drop lower and making it really hard for the dog to walk. There is an allen bolt on one side of the bracket and a thumb screw on the other side of the bracket to pinch the bracket between the two. But even when tightened down fairly hard, they seem to loosen up again within a day or so. The two bolts leave marks on the wheel bracket, so what I did was use those marks and drill little indentations into the bracket (I did not drill all of the way through). The metal is fairly soft and easy to drill. Then I used thread locker (e.g. Loctite) on both the allen bolt and the thumb screw as I again tightened them down as hard as I dared without twisting them off. Only time will tell if my bright idea for this problem actually solves the issue. So far, we are pleased with this item and both we and our dog are much happier that she is able to move around. She is able to do her business from it and seems comfortable with being securely held. It will be nice if she ever realizes how wide she is when in it so that she can avoid obstacles that keep hanging her up. But then again, it has only been a few days and we are all learning how this thing is going to work for us long term. If I have any additional insights as time goes on, I will update this review.

Sturdy but wheels could have more tread. Nuts lose tightness often and constantly need adjusting.light weight
