Restore Your Pet's Mobility With a Rottweiler Wheelchair

You knew this would come when you chose to get a Rottweiler. They carry a lot of weight on joints that have taken a beating over the years. Whether you’ve gotten the hip dysplasia diagnosis or are just seeing the early signs of CCL, it can be heartbreaking to watch.

A rottweiler wheelchair gets your dog back to living their best life, even when their back legs give out. Our wheelchairs are expertly crafted on an extruded aluminum frame that supports up to 180 pounds, so even the biggest male Rottweiler isn't too heavy for it. 

Puncture-proof foam wheels with a rubber outer layer mean you're not replacing tires every time your dog rolls through gravel, either. Here are some more benefits of our dog wheelchair:

• Adjusts to your dog, not the other way around. The whole frame can be fine-tuned once it shows up at your door. You adjust the chair instead of replacing it if your Rottweiler's condition progresses.
• Rear support now, full support later. Start with a rear wheelchair and add our front wheel attachment ($305) when your dog needs it. No need to find a new wheelchair down the road. It’s the most cost-effective way to support your pet through all stages of life.
• 5-year frame warranty. The aluminum frame takes daily use from a dog that weighs over 100 pounds. We stand behind it for five years.

No custom build complications or waiting around weeks. Your dog's chair ships within 24-48 hours. It’s so easy to find the right fit, too. Plug your dog's weight and leg height into our SureFit Calculator. Or, get a personalized recommendation from our team today. 

How to Select the Right Wheelchair for Rottweilers

Which rottweiler wheelchair your dog needs comes down to how much they weigh and which legs are giving out right now. Most Rottweilers weigh somewhere between 80-135 pounds, so they’ll very likely need a large dog wheelchair ($529 for rear support, $834 for full support). Smaller females around 70 pounds may fit the Med/Large instead.

Most Rottweilers start with a rear support dog wheelchair for conditions like hip dysplasia and CCL tears. While we don’t have a dedicated dog wheelchair for front legs, our quad dog wheelchair is a perfect solution. Or, you can head over to K9 Carts for a full-fledged front-leg wheelchair. Those are custom-built, so it will take 2-4 days before your order ships. 

Our SureFit Calculator helps you land on the optimal size once you have your dog's weight and rear leg height. But we do this every day and are happy to assist you if you’d rather get a recommendation than figure it out yourself. Just give us a call!

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I consider a wheelchair for my Rottweiler?

As soon as you notice the back legs stop doing their job. Watch for your Rottweiler to drag their paws or have trouble getting up off the floor without help. Your vet can help confirm it’s time to explore support options as well.

How much are Rottweiler wheelchairs?

Most Rottweilers fit our Large, which is $529 for rear support and $834 for full support with front and rear wheels. Is your Rottweiler on the smaller side? They may fit the Med/Large ($499 rear; $774 full).

How long will it take my Rottweiler to get used to their new wheelchair?

A few days for most dogs. Some take to it the first time out. Others need a few short sessions to get comfortable. Start with 10-15 minutes at first, ideally somewhere your dog already likes to walk. Most dogs don't want to stop once they realize they can move on their own again.
