I found a couple on ebay... might not be any good to you but you will know what's more suitable for you dog than me. Of course, they are not free and will cost you... both aren't in the UK either.

This one is from America but ships to the UK, not sure if the size is right or not:
DOG WHEELCHAIR ( J-4 MEDIUM SIZE DOGS) on eBay, also Health Care, Dog Supplies, Pet Supplies, Home Garden (end time 21-Sep-08 23:41:05 BST)

This one comes from China, obviously the one in this auction would be too small, but they do mention that if your dogs weight/size is different, then to contact them so they can put one in your size up for auction for you to then buy/bid on:
Dog Wheelchair Canine Cat Cart SMALL MEDIUM LARGE CUSTO on eBay, also Other, Dog Supplies, Pet Supplies, Home Garden (end time 22-Sep-08 03:08:10 BST)

They do different sizes by the looks of it, and do custom made ones... and also show how to measure your dog for the right fit wheelchair.

Re: Looking a wheelchair for German Shepherd

Is it just old age or has Troi got other problems, I know this is hard question but what is her quality of life like. She may not adjust to been strapped into one of those things.

It's awful when they get old and they can't tell us where they hurt or how they feel, my heart goes out to you ,and Troi.

Thank you for kind words. Yes, she is 12 years old and her pows not good anymore, sometimes she can moving, sometimes she can't and we carrying her by hands. Lots of people in the UK recommended me to meke her sleep by injection, but its rediciulous! She haven't any pain, she quite happy lying down, just she cant moving. I can't do it just because it's not comfortable for me tyding her toilet (because she cant moving, last time she started doing mess indoors). I think, maybe I will use pampers for ger soon. Does anybody knows, is there special dog pampers, or I need to use humans pampers?

Are you thinking about whats best for Troi, or yourself, hard decisions sometimes have to made "I know I've been there" and dogs do not always show signs of being in pain.
