Abstract

A pet mobility carrier assembly for a disabled animal having either a rear leg disability or a front leg disability. The assembly includes a carrier base with a perimeter surface, a carrier animal support removably disposed on the carrier base, and at least three rollers connected to the carrier base that provides multi-directional movement to the pet mobility carrier assembly when on a floor.

Claims (15)

1. A pet mobility carrier assembly for a four-legged animal having either a rear leg disability or a front leg disability, the assembly comprising:

a carrier base having a base perimeter surface forming a base recess portion;

a carrier animal support removably disposed on the carrier base, the carrier animal support configured to have a surface (1) upon which disabled rear legs of a disabled animal are positioned or (2) to accommodate the front disabled legs and chest of the disabled animal while preserving as close as possible the disabled animal's standing position prior to the animal's front legs becoming disabled;

at least three rollers connected to the carrier base; and

one of an animal rear leg drag bag or a front animal harness wherein the one of the animal rear leg drag bag receives the disabled rear legs of an animal having a rear leg disability wherein the animal rear leg drag bag is secured to the carrier base, and wherein the front animal harness secures the disabled front legs and chest of the animal to the carrier base, and

wherein the one of the animal rear leg drag bag and the front animal harness is removably attached to the at least two releasable attachment points of the carrier base such that the pet mobility carrier assembly is securely attached to and supports the four-legged animal.

2. The assembly of claim 1 wherein the base perimeter surface includes at least two releasable attachment points adapted to secure a portion of a four-legged animal to the pet mobility carrier assembly.

3. The assembly of claim 2 wherein the at least two releasable attachment points are a rotatable button lock fastener.

5. The assembly of claim 1 wherein the carrier animal support is one of a foam pad or a foam pad fixedly attached to an animal support base of the carrier animal support.

6. The assembly of claim 1 wherein the base recess portion is arcuate shaped and adapted to allow a four-legged animal's non-disabled front legs or a four-legged animal's non-disabled rear legs to step forward or backward causing the pet mobility carrier assembly to move in a similar direction.

7. The assembly of claim 1 wherein the carrier animal support includes a releasable fastener assembly between the carrier base and the carrier animal support.

8. The assembly of claim 7 wherein the releasable fastener assembly is one of a hook and loop fastener, a snap, a quick-release fastener, and a reusable double-sided tape.

9. The assembly of claim 1 wherein the at least three rollers are multi-directional rollers that permit movement of the carrier base to roll in all directions.

10. The assembly of claim 9 wherein the at least three rollers are one of pivoting wheels and omni-directional wheels.
