Adjustability and Fit

This level of adjustment allows you to finetune the fit of your dog’s cart for a customized fit. With an adjustable cart, your dog’s wheelchair can change as your dog’s body changes. Whether your dog gains weight, loses weight, or is still growing, the wheelchair can be adjusted to fit their changing body throughout its lifetime.

Measure the Rear Leg Height, from the top of the leg where it attaches to the abdomen down to the toe pad, while your pet is lying down, as shown in the photo. Do not pull the leg tight; leave some natural bend.
Usage and Functionality
The Walkin’ Wheels rear dog wheelchair is designed to support a pet’s hind legs from underneath, providing stability and reducing pressure on their back legs. The wheels of the cart are aligned with the pet’s hips, enabling proper support in a natural standing position. This allows the pet to walk naturally while using the wheelchair or lift their legs off the ground using the stirrups if they are paralyzed. Yes! In fact, your dog’s wheelchair is designed so that dogs can go to the bathroom and get the exercise they need. Not only can pets pee and poop while using their dog wheelchair, but their wheelchair also actually encourages them to go. A “down” dog tends to be less active, which can impact the internal functions of their body. Once a dog is in their wheelchair, they are standing upright and moving more which encourages their body to function correctly and allow them to relieve themselves naturally.
Assembly and Maintenance
It’s easy to determine the right size Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair for your pet. All you need is two simple measurements to choose the right size wheelchair for your pet: Measure the Rear Leg Height to the toe pad, ideally when your pet is laying down.
