The Right Way To Lift A Dog With Spinal Problems

April 2, 2019 by PetRescueMomma 18 Comments

Learn the right way to lift a dog with a spinal problem.

I’ve written a lot about using a harness, dog wheelchair, cart and stroller to move a dog with a spinal condition or injury from one point to another. But no matter how many devices you have there will be times when you have to manually lift or carry your dog.

I am reaching out once again to readers to help Lexie, the paralyzed dog pictured above, find a new family before she arrives in the United States next month in June.

The organization that rescued her has made arrangements for the dog to fly to the U.S. in June, but they are asking for our help to find an adopted home before she arrives.
