It may also happen that he suffers an accident or trauma to the paws or spine. Whatever the case may be,some accessories can help the dog to move around, these are:

• Wheelchair: The wheelchair for a disabled dog is one of the most sought after accessories by owners. It costs between R$130 to R$200 to have a wheelchair for your pet. It is perfect for dogs who have lost the movement of their hind legs and will help keep the animal's posture and spine intact, as well as helping him to run around the house.
• Drag bag for dogs: this is one of the most comfortable aids for the pet, and it works as a small garment that complements the dog's body, especially the one that has had its paws amputated. It may be less complicated than the wheelchair, but it will require some effort from the furry to move. However, it prevents him from suffering some kind of friction of the body against the floor.

It is not only for disabled dogs: other pets with or without special conditions can also benefit from the accessory!

• Scissors to cut the shirt;
• Sewing thread and needle.

How to:

• Start by cutting the shirt at shoulder height, removing each side of the sleeves;
• Then make a cutout at the chest of the shirt and again make two more vertical cuts on it. The shirt will be in three parts: middle and sides;
• Make a seam joining the only sides to each other (before that, it is good to measure on the dog to know if it will not be too loose, or tight), reserve the fabric that remains;
• Then, take the remaining middle piece and sew it to the end and above the sides that were joined together;
• Make a cut in that middle piece that just had the end sewn on, forming a Y. This will be the suspender;
• Drill two holes in the opposite direction to the Y (just turn the shirt over and drill the holes on the other side);
• Place each end of this Y into each hole and tie a knot joining the fabrics;
• Now, just dress up the little dog!
