Walkin' Wheels Dog Wheelchair - for Med/Large Dogs 50-69 lbs - Veterinarian Approved - Dog Wheelchair for Back Legs

This is a very ingenious little device. Butterpup has issues of always turning to the right and collapsing, and two MRIs and a spinal tap later, it appears it's going to stay. We ordered this and it has been excellent getting him to walk on his own and he has been expanding his walks and taking more interest in life now that he doesn't have to be carried around. It is lightweight--so much so that I can easily lift it with one hand--but sturdy. It came with all the pieces he needed and more. I was concerned about the wheels (foam) but they haven't locked up and easily manage passive-aggressive topology, such as small tree limbs and rocks, since pup was feeling adventurous enough to go cautiously off-roading. He can go to the stream again now and we don't have to fish him out after his legs give out. He's feeling quite empowered now. We read about one owner whose chow was "embarrassed" to be in one, but this chow has no problem with this *at all*. As soon as we saddled him up, he was off to the races, so to speak. I suspect he was just that tired of being hoisted up like furry baggage and wanted some independence back. Moreover, I think it is good physical therapy for him to keep his legs moving. The design is extremely well thought out and engineered--the front harness has a soft neoprene covering with extensions to ensure there is no rubbing; the attachments to the chassis are solid and ingeniously engineered to keep the carriage firm and safe. The underharness can be lifted out--if necessary, with the dog's rump inside, for short-term portage. Soft squashy foam guards over the nylon support straps keep the pup's undercarriage supported without discomfort. He had no problem depositing a gift baggie for us while he was in the harness, and did not have to fear collapsing in it--an upsetting thing for any dog to endure, let alone one as fastidious as a chow. Overall, this was a wonderful idea and has tremendously increased pup's quality of life. "...scoot down the road, what's my number. . . "

This is a great product. Well made and easy to assemble. Getting the right fit is a little challenging but not from a product standpoint. Each part of the cart work together for the comfort of your pet, so little adjustments are important. The customer service is amazing. They have helped us every step of the way with necessary adjustments. With every penny!!!

I saw a review left by another person. That reviewer gave advice on how to set-up a dog wheelchair. My dog was deathly afraid of the thing as I was putting it together. I tried to remain in a positive mood as I was snapping pieces together. I also took measurements of my dog. I took measurements so that I could get the size of the struts, side rails, and width as close to perfect before putting an anxious dog anywhere near it. I also ordered the front and rear combination lifting harness for my girl. I got both the front and rear sections of that harness adjusted to fit her. I let my dog sniff and sit near the chair for a bit before I attempted to put her in it. I called my dog over to the me. I put the chair behind and clipped the front buckles into the harness. I used the rear harness to pick my dog's rear end up and installed the rear harness into the chair. I had to adjust the wheel struts a hair. My dog was fitted for her chair. I left it so that my dog's rear feet can just touch the ground. My dog has hip dysplasia, and I want her to be able to exercise her joints while keeping pressure off of them. My dog was a little nervous at first. However, she took a few steps around my house. I am sure there will be a learning curve for her (or any dog for that matter). My dog did seem pretty excited after taking a few steps as her tail was really wagging like crazy. That makes me happy. Pros: Very adjustable Easy to adjust to dogs of different sizes Sturdy when lock screws are used to secure extendable parts Easy to get my dog into with their two piece lifting harness (extra purchase) Lots of different accessories are available/upgradeable if dog's health deteriorates Cons: Very expensive for what it is It has just been a day. However, my dog was happy once I got hed in it. I am hoping this will help my dog be able to get exercise while also allowing her to keep using her back legs. That would be great therapy for my dog. I will update my review based on how my dog does and provide feedback on how this holds up over time.

This was for my senior Husky, who was 50 lbs. I ordered the Med-Lrg. I have used wheelchairs before and I was impressed with this one. It is well made and easy to assemble. The materials are high quality. The main frame is heavily powder coated for a nice look. I had my pup in it in :30. It only required a little more adjustments to the straps which are a little tricky, but well padded. Yes, the little push buttons on the frame can fall out of place as mentioned in other reviews, but it just takes a tap or a flathead screwdriver to get it back in position. EASY! The frame is very lightweight, so I could easily lift it with my pup in it. (I am a 60 yr. old woman with arthritis.) The wheelbase is not too wide, though not narrow enough for indoors. I especially liked that it could fold flat for easy storage in my car. I took one star off for their customer service. Although I was confident I had adjusted it properly, they encourage contacting them to ensure you have a proper fit, which I did. But it took them two weeks to reply. Sadly, that was all the time I had left with my pup. However, their response team was very compassionate and apologetic. As for cost, this is more expensive than some others but not nearly as expensive as a custom chair. I think it is well worth it. I highly recommend this chair!

I have been absolutely impressed with this wheelchair. My Chloe girl (boxer, medium/small build, 50lbs, 11.5 yrs old) has been suffering from neurological issues in her back. She’s progressively lost functionality of her back legs and was recommended to get a wheelchair. I had no idea where to start but after looking around quite a bit I saw this one. It has been a game changer - she has life back in her eyes and LOVES going for walks! It definitely took a little adjustment period between her being stubborn and making tweaks to the chair, but the way there’s so much flexibility with the different settings/adjustment options made it easy to customize it to fit her. She’s cruising around the neighborhood with me nightly and the talk of the town :)

My dog was diagnosed with Degenerative Myelopathy in February, and by March had lost the use of one of her back legs, making it hard for her to stand on her own, and nearly impossible for her to go on walks. She was, up until this point, a very active dog and we would walk about 5 miles a day, everyday. She loved going on 'adventures' and to the dog park, but she was suddenly trapped at home, and in the yard. We decided to splurge and buy her the wheelchair, but at 13 we weren't sure we could teach this old dog a new trick. I am SO happy we did it because it is the best money we have ever spent! She was very leery of the chair as I was assembling it and trying to get it fitted to her, but she took to it so quickly. I watched the videos online and only put her in it for a few minutes the first time, and we went for a very short walk with lots of treats the second time, and then she basically took off. She has run, played fetch at the park, and we are back to walking distances again. She LOVES her wheelchair and it has allowed her to have many happy months of adventures all thanks to it. She has been going for at least 2 mile long walks a day with her one bad leg up, and as her disease progresses we are having to put her second leg up on occasion, but it does not hold her back and she is perfectly comfortable and agile in the wheelchair. She definitely would not have made it this long without the wheelchair, and I think the activity is helping to slow the progression of the disease. While it won't stop the inevitable, we are getting extra bonus months with our beloved dog that would not have been possible without the wheelchair. Did the price seem high? Sure. Was it worth every penny and would I do it again? Absolutely!!!! Bonus: so many people stop to pet her and to say hello and just generally say pleasant things when we are out walking that it is warming my heart as well as hers!

If your dog is struggling to walk i would recommend this. I purchased all the braces and bands, none of which worked. Get this if you want your furry friend to be able to get around by themself again. Yes they can go 1 and 2 in this. Made with quality materials this should last a long time! Only use while supervised as they can tip over sometimes.

I have a 14 year old golden retriever who is experiencing difficulties moving around due to progressing arthritis and spinal neuropathy. I was thinking about buying this wheelchair for a long time, and finally a very not easy situation with my very much loved Marley broke me - I bought it, as if I loose a few more pounds together with my dog, people will start calling me anorexic. Tried it in the morning and returned right away. Now let’s see why: 1) This wheelchair is designed for ball-less dogs. Yes, their “Comfortable leg ring harness” (advertised on the packaging) will squeeze them, so if you still decide to try it, be very careful!!! Almost forgot to mention, I got it all messed up and had to call their service. Great QA! 2) Chest harness is very narrow and badly adjustable. Goldens have a massive chest, and I failed to tighten it enough on him (size purchased was medium-large). 3) Belly support - no normal way to fix it in place. It looks like a piece of red material attached to a sling which has Velcro closing from one side and some hanging laces with plastic tighteners. Old dogs also pee, how to wash this terrible thing with all that stuff on and then be able to dry it before the next walk?! 4) They like Velcro a lot. A LOT!!! And all kinds of laces. But they don’t like dog hair on anything if you return it. Particularly, fur; dander; stains; and odors. Dog hair and Velcro - a perfect combination to get dog hair back! 5) Old dogs need rest (to lay down during the walk), this wheelchair won’t let it happen so easily. 6) When your dog tries to lay down in this, it’s the most heartbreaking view - front part of the body goes down and back part vertically up to the sky at the right angle leaving your dog helpless. When you try to bring your dog to a normal position, you find out that there is no normal handle, and you have to pull your dog by the chest harness with the dog’s hair, because there is nothing that would protect hair from grabbing it. Oh right, Walking Wheels don’t like dog hair! Let us pull it then! 7) And the most important - I take my dog for a walk to pee and poop. He failed to do any of those in it. I’m sure I could find more problems if I used it for longer. Will probably come back to let you know how much money I lost on wheelchair return. And I’ll go get ready to help my dog with other means by the evening walk, Yunna
