Testimonials

Henri and Daphne

“As soon as Henri was in his wheels, our Henri was back! It was probably the best day of our lives seeing him have his independence back!! Running again, playing with his friends, and going on walks!!! We bought Daphne her first pair of baby Walkin’ Wheels, which she took to straight away! It was incredible to see the bond they both have with each other, as I do genuinely believe they know they are both the same and love each other so much!”

Scoot

"I remember the day he walked ten meters in one go! From there, it was only a matter of time before we saw him complete one whole round of the park, and then he happily built up enough strength to complete a 4km coastal walk along Hong Kong’s stunning harbor front! Every day, he gets more and more confident, and now he happily wheels around doing his own thing. With these wheels, he has, quite literally, been given a second chance at life.”

Maxwell

“He realized they provided speed, support, and freedom he’d never known before!! Maxwell LOVES his wheels now and looks forward to getting in them every day. Today, we are 15 months into Maxwell using his wheels, and he is an absolute pro! He is on his third set, as pigs continue growing until they are five, and he has outgrown his first two wheelchairs. In addition to loving the freedom wheels provide, we have also seen Maxwell’s hind legs and spinal muscles get stronger, and he is able to support himself on his legs and take several steps unaided now. We know this would not have been possible without the last 15 months of wheelchair therapy.”

Saint

“Since bringing Saint home, he has done amazing. His Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair has been instrumental in his development, and he is able to move around and play as he wants. The vet says he is incredibly healthy and strong, so the fact that his muscular development has stayed on track (with the help of his wheels, no doubt) is just awesome. I am so proud of him and love watching him flourish.”

Rio

“The wheelchair has provided us with the ability for Rio to live his best wheelie life, in the past two years I have lost count of the number of places we have been lucky to have visited and met other dogs that also have wheels. Rio is 6 this year and can confidently say he is pain-free, crazier than ever, and living the most incredible wheelie life. I wouldn’t want our life to be any different to the one we have now.”

Zack

“We are grateful to Zack for allowing us to face this battle with him and find this new way of life. He teaches us something new every day, and above all, the true meaning of resilience. I share our story for those who fight in silence against silent battles. Degenerative myelopathy may not have a cure, but with the necessary care, we can improve the quality of life of our furry ones. We are lucky to have the wheelchair which has allowed him to walk by himself!”

Penny

“Penny got a Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair 2 weeks ago. She had CES surgery last September and was not performing so well with her back legs. The vet and physiotherapist suggested getting a wheelchair for her to take the weight off her frog legs during the rehabilitation period!”

Ruben

“Ruben the wonderdog in his new wheelchair! Poor Ruben had his previous wheelchair stolen from his home in Surrey. With only having 2 legs – this left Ruben unable to go for walks. His amazing family reached out to the press, and us at Pumpkin and Friends Charity wanted to help. We received donations and bought Ruben his new quad Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair. Ruben is once again mobile and enjoying being outdoors with his 5 rescue friends!

Thank you to everyone that helped us buy him new wheels!”

Kirra

“Kirra was the best girl ever. Always so happy to chase a ball or cuddle on the couch. She was diagnosed with DM in April 2020. We lost her in March of 2022. We miss her beautiful face every day.”

Peanut

 “Peanut has IVDD, and has been paralyzed for a year and 3 months now – but it doesn’t stop her at all!!!”

Freyja Ashildr

“Ashildr became paralyzed in her back legs 07/07/22 (stage 5 IVDD) and needed emergency surgery. Later, she was diagnosed with focal mylomelasia. Yesterday she took a stroll in her wheels to the park across the street for the first time since her injury. All in all, she ended up walking around a mile! Mommy and daddy were very proud!”

Happy Customers

"I am so thankful for the Walkin Wheels device which gives my pet mobility and exercise. Fynn, my dachshund, has used the wheels for a year now and they are still sturdy and completely functional as they day we bought this delightful appartus. Going over curbs and trudging up hill is no problem and we do it often"

Carol Shwedo DuPilka

"Our dog LOVES these wheels! Changed her life in such a positive way!! Customer service has been above and beyond!! Hannah answers all my emails promptly and sends us replacement parts right away!! I HIGHLY recommend Walkin Wheels!! Super lightweight also!!"

Dena Green

"Our Frenchie loves her Walkin Wheels. She was diagnosed with IVDD and despite immediate surgery she will not regain the use of her back legs. Allowing her to have her mobility back and watching her enjoy her wheels has given us great joy!"

Kym

"Making the decision related to my mini dachshund’s mobility, I was referred to Walkin’ Pets by three local veterinarians. The directions for measurement were essential for my long backed boy. The assembly was very simple and my guy is now back to running in the yard, playing fetch, and chasing squirrels."

Happy customer

"The wheelchair was very easy to put together thanks to the videos available on walkinpets' website. It took a little adjusting to exactly fit our dog's body size. Our dog took to it right away and was going for a walk the first day. Neighbors and friends have been amazed at how well he walks in it. They say he even looks happier and is less hunchbacked. It has made it extremely easy for him to do his bodily functions outside without falling over."

Wendy Coon

"My dog loves her wheels! I was very concerned about getting the right wheelchair and getting it in a hurry as her hind legs got considerably weaker in a short amount of time. Everyone was very helpful and caring, especially Josh. My dog gets up when she sees the cart and has expectations of going for a walk or the backyard. This has been a game changer. Highly recommend the company and the product!"

Michele

Wednesday

“At about 3 weeks old, Wednesday injured her leg. She will be going to see an avian surgeon to hopefully reset her dislocated joint and repair her ligaments that have torn! Until then, we are keeping her comfy with this wheelchair, thanks to Walkin’ Pets! She is her happy, sweet self and Pudding has been her cheerleader as she learns to use her wheelchair.”

Rigatoni

“Rigatoni is a sweet boy who just loves to stop and smell the flowers! I swear this guy knows nothing but joy and it is such a blessing to watch him conquer his disability everyday! Go Rigs! We still have no interest on this sweet, extremely low maintenance boy! Let’s see some applications and help find this boy a home!”

Theo

“Theo most likely had canine herpes virus as a young puppy, he was one of the 3/9 puppies that survived out of his litter. The other two are normal and have already been adopted out! CHV has a high mortality rate and usually the dogs that do survive end up with neurological issues. Theo is a happy, normal puppy with jello legs. He is very mobile, but isn’t able to stand or sit up on his own. He also is super wobbly and has intention tremors similar to cerebellar hypoplasia. His wonderful foster got him through so much, and now that he’s ready to be away from his mom, I took over to help him with his mobility issues. I’m excited to go on this journey with him and get him more mobile!”

Bambi

“A huge thank you to everyone donating, sharing her story, and sending her love. Your support makes the world go round for every animal that calls Viva home, and for that, everyone here is eternally grateful to you. Thank you!!!”

Canelo

“Canelo has a big personality and absolutely loves life! His Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair allows him to live fully and engage in his all favorite activities, such as playing ball and chasing bugs and frogs outside. He loves to ‘run’ around with other dogs in his foster home. He is super fast in his wheels! When the neighbors come outside he has to run over to greet them and say hi! When he’s not running full speed, Canelo prefers to cuddle on the couch. Canelo recently won the cover of the 2022 Walkin’ Pets Calendar Contest, and is searching for his forever home. Meanwhile he will continue with physical therapy, chasing bugs, and being spoiled by his foster mom, who loves him to the moon and back!”

Vito

September 27, 2016, our wonderful, 11-year-old Boxer, Vito, ended his battle with Degenerative Myelitis. Thank you, Walkin’ Wheels, for helping us to protect our pup’s feet, keeping him mobile and extending his quality of life until his last day. He visited his friends in the park every day and was a hit with the school kids as he rolled down the street in his Walkin’ Wheels cart. Thank you and your wonderful staff, who provided assistance as we began preparations for Vito’s progressing disability. Vito received a confirmed diagnosis of DM in February 2015. His Walkin’ Wheels cart and a few pairs of the heavy-duty booties contributed to an enhanced quality of life, even as his health declined. Thank you for providing a special product and wonderful service,

Barney

I cannot begin to thank you enough for the wonderful Walkin’ Wheels dog wheelchair! Just one week ago, I was in tears thinking it was the end for my dog Barney. After months of progressive immobility from arthritis and hip dysplasia, his hind legs were so weak he was unable to walk or even go to the bathroom himself. We ordered his Walkin’ Wheels that same day and got it 2 days later! Today is day 5, and he has been on 4 long walks! Due to his size, Barney cannot wear it in the house, but that’s ok because he gets to go for walks again. Every time I pull it out, Barney’s ears perk up, his tail starts wagging, and a huge smile comes across his face! I wanted to share some pictures and videos with you in hopes that it could inspire more pet parents to consider this wheelchair for their dogs! I’ve already been asked so many questions about it while walking Barney, and I endorse this product to anyone who will listen!! Thank you again for giving Barney his mobility and quality of life back!

Menhyt

Menhyt is an 11-year-old Greyhound. She was born in Tijuana at the “Agua Caliente” racing track, born in an unwanted litter of puppies from two racing dogs. The owner of the dogs offered me one of the puppies and I had to say yes. I must admit, that was one of the best decisions in my life, because she has been such a great companion. She is now 11-years-old and has been using the wheelchair for three years now.  Menhyt has used two wheelchairs so far, and she is going to need a third one because those old tires are giving up from all her activity! She lost mobility in her rear legs when she was 8-years-old. She was so sad and lost so much weight. Some veterinarians suggested putting her to sleep because it was going to be “too much work” to care for her in this condition. I said NO to that idea and decided to do everything I could to keep her alive, happy, and enjoying life. It hasn’t been easy, but here we are, three years and 4 months later, and she is doing so well.  After I got her her first wheelchair, she started moving around more and more, she gained some weight, and she seemed happier. It’s so nice that dog wheelchairs exist. Thank you for making them! I must say that Walkin’ Wheels are great quality and are very well built.
