Multiple & short walks - Wheelchair is not made for an animal to be on it for more than 3hrs (max). It can put stress on the body like the shoulder / neck , belly. They cannot sit or lie down while on a wheelchair. So, take your dog out 2 -3 times a day for about the 15mins-30mins. This should give them enough time to get some exercise & mind stimulation
