“My vet said no to a wheelchair…”

It is impossible to deny the joy Charlie is displaying right now

It’s something I hear all too often from pet parents — and it’s a common theme in the work I do.

That’s why I wanted to share this excellent post from The Dog Mobility Project:
When Your Vet Says No to a Wheelchair – Why a Second Opinion Matters

With over 30 years of experience as a Veterinary Nurse, I understand and respect the caution that veterinary professionals often have when it comes to mobility aids. Their concerns are usually rooted in compassion — but often, the hesitation stems from not being familiar with the excellent mobility and wheelchair options available today.

This piece does a fantastic job explaining why that first “no” doesn’t have to be the final word — and how a second opinion can make all the difference in a pet’s quality of life.

I encourage you to give it a read. It’s an important conversation that deserves more attention.
