Description
Melissa Narum's survey data from 2026 evaluates the impact of assistive mobility carts on dogs, cats, and rabbits. The dataset, 1.7 MB in size, contains responses to a 23-question survey covering caretaker satisfaction, animal quality of life, functional task completion, and complication rates. Results indicate quality-of-life improvements for dogs and cats and a high prevalence of complications, primarily wounds.
Use Cases

Study caretaker satisfaction factors related to assistive technology adoption.
Strengths
Includes survey results for three distinct species: dogs, cats, and rabbits.
Reports specific quantitative findings, such as 62% of dogs and 57% of cats showing improved quality of life.
Details complication rates, with 64% of cases reporting at least one complication and 53% of those being wounds.
