Our miniature dachshund Walt has a bad back like many little wienies do. His discs are hardened, with less cushioning between, so he's injured himself and undergone surgeries that have left him paralyzed in his hind legs. He has big brothers he's desperate to keep up with and a puppy dog spirit that just won't quit. We bought him a little wheelchair on Amazon, and we could tell that he appreciated the extra mobility, but the fit wasn't great. We decided to invest in something a little more custom, and Walt's physio therapist recommended Walkin' Wheels.
She helped us take his measurements, but the website has a pretty thorough template that's easy to follow. That way you get the best fit for your dog. That's how we found out that though he's a wiener, the best fit for him wasn't the dachshund wheelchairs but the small breed ones.
It arrived verry quickly.
My husband put it together and it's definitely sturdier than the last one. The harness fits his chest much better. It sits snuggly but doesn't chafe.
He could tell the difference straight away. He loves being in it.
