Measuring your dog for a wheelchair

This picture shows where a dog's fold of the flank (FOF) is. If you have a long-haired dog, you can locate the fold of the flank by pushing the hair back and feeling for the fold of flank skin.

If your dog can stand, use a metal retractable tape measure or yardstick, place it in front of his rear foot/toes and measure straight up to the bottom edge of fold of the flank.

measuring for a dog wheelchair

If your dog cannot stand, you can measure the fold of the flank when he is lying on his side. In order to get an accurate measurement, position the dog's rear leg in a normal standing position: knee joint and hock joint will be slightly bent. Bend the dog's foot at his ankle (like it would be if he was standing on his foot). Do NOT stretch the dog's leg and foot out as this will add several inches to the fold of flank and give you an inaccurate measurement. In this picture the yardstick shows a FOF of 18 inches
