The Walkin' Wheels dog wheelchair is different from any other product that has been available in the past. So different that it is stocked and sold by veterinarians, rehab centres, clinics and pet professionals. The custom built carts of the past could not be stocked as they took weeks to build and required exact measurements. The wheelchair offers all the mobility and comfort of custom carts with none of the problems.
It is so important to keep dogs walking independently as long as possible, and with the option of having the legs down but supported, you can keep your dogs muscles working, even if for short periods to prevent further muscle wasting. With the Walkin' wheels dog wheelchair you can give your dog the exercise it needs to live a happy, healthy, active life. We find dogs adjust so easily to using these wheelchairs, they are off exploring in no time.
Our veterinarian-approved Walkin' Wheels is designed to help animals with hip and leg problems due to degenerative myelopathy (DM), hip dysplasia, arthritis, paralysis, slipped disc, spinal and neurological problems, surgical recovery, and more. Walkin' Wheels adjustable dog wheelchair can be ordered without taking complex measurements and folds flat for convenient transport and storage
Wheelchair Sizing:
The Fold of the Flank (FOF) is a thin piece of skin that connects the dog's upper rear leg to his body, very similar to the skin between your thumb and index finger. Measure from the ground up, while your dog is standing or lying sideways. Do not extend your dog's leg if lying down, measure it in the natural position as if your dog was standing up normally.

To measure your dog for the correct size, measure the girth of one back leg all the way around at the widest part (thigh), please see the diagram above for reference.

How does a dog toilet in the wheelchair?
This is the most frequently asked question by customers. The answer is that they just get used to it. When the wheelchair is fully set up and the dog is used to walking in it, the dog will learn to toilet naturally standing up. The most important thing you can do it to reassure them that it's okay the first time that they toilet in the wheelchair so that it's a positive experience for them. Please see the video below of a dog toileting in the wheelchair.

The adjustable frame takes care of the rest. And if you’re not in the UK, no problem. We ship to all worldwide international destinations.
Adjustable. Extensible. Resellable.

Through simple snap-adjustments and optional parts, Walkin’ Wheels is a future-proof purchase that you’ll never have to throw away.
Lifting limits. And Legs.
Empower your dog. Maintain his/her health by providing exercise using the Walkin’ Wheels. Going to the bathroom is no longer a chore – the Walkin’ Wheels enables dogs to do their business without restrictions or mess. If the dog’s rear legs are paralyzed, stirrups will prevent the rear legs from dragging. The days of putting down dogs due to mobility problems are over.
Full support available.
Some dogs need the full support of 4 wheels. That’s why we built the modular Front Wheel Attachment. It can be added to any Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair to make it a quad. Order it along with your wheelchair, or add it later, should your dog need it.
Your money’s worth. And then some.
The Walkin’ Wheels box is packed to the brim with value. It contains everything you need to get your dog back to an active, healthy lifestyle and then some. When you buy a Walkin’ Wheels, you get more than your money’s worth. In fact, we had to redesign our boxes to fit everything.
