When discussing mobility equipment, begin with the everyday activity you want help understanding. The dog’s current assessment, environment and preferences provide context for considering whether a particular option is appropriate.
Ask who will assess suitability, explain fitting and discuss review. Supporting a disabled dog also involves the people around them, so include your own questions about handling, space, transport and a manageable routine.
