Recommendation for Stretcher??

[skinsey]

Given that I have 3 dogs over 100 pounds - I want to buy a stretcher or litter of some sort to keep handy in case of an emergency. My greatest fear is something happening when I am alone. Not that a stretcher will solve that problem. But using a towel for a 150 pound dog doesn't seem to make sense. Any recommendations? What would I do if I were home alone? How would I get a 150 pound dog into my car? Anyone figured this out yet?

Sharon,

I do have a stretcher, but not the info at hand. I will get back to you though.

The Northland Newfoundland Club sells slings and stretchers as a fund raiser for their club. I have seen them and they are well made.

JoJo, thank you. That's excellent. After what we and our friends went through last week, trying to load 150 lb. Jude into the car, we thought we should pool our resources and get one. I think I'll order it from the club.
thanks again.

I have the sling, and it is very nice. I've loaned it out to a few people and they thught it was nicely made also.

Thank you so much. I will order them immediately.

When Kenda was bleeding out I was in a panic. We had a moving dolly that you could move the handles so it was flat. A few cardboard boxes and boom I had a homemade stretcher on wheels which was so important if you are ever caught alone. It worked awesomely. I thank it for keeping her alive that night.

How weird that I was just thinking about this a few days ago. I went off to class and 2 hours into it, started panicking because I thought I'd forgotten to close something and what if the dogs get into it and OMG hubby's not home what will I do (come on, you all know those attacks). I'm thinking I need one too.
