The Rover
A new therapeutic device for dogs who need to regain strength in their legs has been developed. The Rover is a four-wheeled dogkart designed for dogs who, due to injury, illness, or surgery, cannot walk unassisted.
The Rover allows dogs to exercise their legs without straining their backs after illness or injury.
The Rover is effective in helping dogs rapidly regain strength after illness or injury.
The Rover allows dogs to eat, drink, urinate, and defecate normally while recovering when previously they would have been bed-bound.
The Rover is easy for owners to adjust and use.
The Rover is made of durable, quality materials in the USA.
The Rover was developed by John Solimine to help dogs who might in the past have been put to sleep because they could no longer walk. Dogs who sustain back injuries often lose
strength in their legs over time because they are unable to exercise. Even if their backs eventually heal, they are incapable of walking because they have lost too
much muscle in their legs. Inability to exercise, eat, drink, urinate, defecate, and keep clean often lead to depression in dogs.
The Rover allows dogs to exercise their legs without putting any strain on
their backs. The dog's chest rests in a harness which allows it to maneuver The Rover without strain. The Rover is designed to be easy to propel and turn by dogs. It is also easy for owners to place dogs in it.
Dogs quickly learn how to maneuver The Rover and that they can respond to nature's calls while in the kart.
PROVEN EFFECTIVE
Jack Van Voast, owner of K-9 K-9 Kennels and
breeder of Rottweilers, used The Rover to help his show class Rottweiler, Ilke, recover from a back injury. She could not walk on her own, was urinating and defecating
on herself, was unable to keep herself clean, and was losing interest in life.
The Rover gave her a second chance by allowing her to exercise her legs while fully supporting her back. She is once again
capable of running unaided and living a normal life.
