If you are still unsure about the fit, you can send a few pictures of your 
dog in the wheelchair for fitting evaluation to: 

[email protected] 

Make sure you include order # or last name so we know who to contact.  
We would like to see a Side view, Rear view and Overhead view of 
your dog in the wheelchair like these samples

Check the items above to make sure the wheelchair is fitted properly.

about 3" from frame.

  Extenders are parallel to the ground and do not extend past the front 

legs This side bar will be positioned in the middle of the pet's body 
from front to rear and back is straight.

  Toe pads put into stirrups above the hock and cinched with the push 

ball lock to hold in place.
