Owning a pet is one of the most rewarding experiences, but it’s not always accessible to people with disabilities. Many pet care products rely on the ability to bend down or move around easily – something that can be difficult or even impossible for those with limited mobility or chronic pain.

Whether it’s kneeling to clean a litter box or crouching to fill a food bowl, caring for a pet can present significant challenges – ones that could be eased with the right products on the market.
