We believe every dog deserves the freedom to move, and we’re here to guide pet parents every step of the way.
Welcome to The Dog Mobility Project. For more than eight years, I worked in the pet mobility industry, helping pet parents and veterinary professionals find practical mobility solutions for aging, injured, and disabled dogs.
During that time, I worked with veterinarians to help identify mobility equipment for their patients and answered thousands of questions from pet parents navigating mobility challenges. I also collaborated with canine rehabilitation specialists on the development of new mobility products and created educational resources to help families better understand their pets’ mobility needs and options.
That experience showed me how often pet parents discover mobility solutions later than they wish they had. I heard the same sentiment again and again: “I wish I had known about this sooner.”
That’s why I created The Dog Mobility Project, an independent educational resource dedicated to making practical, trustworthy information about canine mobility easier to find and understand.
My goal is to help pet parents recognize mobility changes earlier, understand the support options available, and feel better prepared to have informed conversations with their veterinarian or rehabilitation professional.
Our Approach
The Dog Mobility Project is committed to providing practical, responsible information for pet parents. Our content draws on years of firsthand experience in the pet mobility industry and, where appropriate, references veterinary resources, research, and guidance from qualified professionals. The information on this site is educational and is not intended to replace veterinary diagnosis or care.
Learning Directly From Pet Parents
In 2026, the Dog Mobility Project launched an original caregiver survey to better understand the experiences of families navigating canine mobility challenges. Our first 50 responses revealed important themes around early symptom recognition, uncertainty about treatment options, and the information caregivers wished they’d had sooner.
