Understand the fit
Talk with caregivers and rehabilitation professionals. Give large- and giant-dog fit particular attention, and record body shape, practical routines and clear suitability limits. Buddy's veterinary care continues independently.
The development plan
Build carefully.
Keep learning.
A lower-cost, repairable chair is the goal. These are the steps between a concept and a product a dog can use.
Test the structure
Qualify materials, joints and whole assemblies using bench rigs and ballast. Study fatigue, retention, stability, heat, moisture and cleaning.
Build toward outdoor freedom
All-terrain readiness for active lifestyles is a development goal. Start with grass, pavement, firm trails and light gravel, then establish tested surface, slope and obstacle limits for each size.
Explore adjustable suspension
Compare tire cushioning and wheel suspension for bumps. Investigate adjustable body support separately with rehabilitation professionals. A softer or stiffer ride does not prescribe hind-leg training.
Read the suspension research planLearn under supervision
After bench review, work toward a professionally supervised fitting pilot with consent, clear stop rules and documented follow-up.
Release one family at a time
Finish manufacturing records, instructions, support, repairs and commerce operations before enabling sales. Qualify each size separately.
