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.

How does it work?

Both male and female pets can pee and poop freely while using their wheelchair. Their hind end is fully supported from underneath by their rear leg rings keeping them in a comfortable and natural standing position. Although your pet can not squat while in their wheelchair, they will relieve themselves while standing.
Watch how easily dogs can use the wheelchair to go to the bathroom, and how easy it is for female dogs too.

It’s easy to determine the right size Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair for your dachshund. We only need to simple measurements to choose the right size wheelchair for your pet:

Yes, the dachshund wheelchair will give pets the support they need to stand, walk, and rebuild their strength. While using their cart your doxie will work to develop the muscle in the rear legs and build up their stamina as they exercise.

Yes. The Walkin’ Wheels is designed to be used both indoors and outside.

It’s ok for a dachshund to take a rest up against a pillow or bed because their legs are so short. Otherwise, it is not recommended, due to back or disc issues that could worsen by laying down in the wheelchair.

No. Our chair is designed NEVER to collapse on the dog’s leg or spine. We’ve gone to great lengths to be sure of it. The chairs are designed with the help of veterinarians and rehabilitation specialists to hold the dog up, keeping the spine and legs in the optimal position for safety and healing. 

What’s more, the purpose of the chair is to give the dog exercise and the freedom to go outside and do his business. When the dog is tired, you should never leave him in the chair. 

The reviews we have seen of the experimental sit-down spring-loaded style have not been positive. Although we have done a great deal of research, we have not found a safe way for a chair to collapse on a dog. 

Yes, a dog does not need to be fully paralyzed to benefit from using a dachshund wheelchair. The wheelchair supports your dog to relieve pressure and reduce the weight placed on their legs making it easier for them to walk. We encourage your dog to use his/her rear legs to maintain muscle mass and to get exercise. If the rear legs are paralyzed, then the stirrups will keep their legs from dragging.

Yes, due to your dachshund’s long torso many doxies do require additional support for the spine. We highly recommend purchasing the Belly Support (X-Small for the mini wheelchair and Small for the small wheelchair) to help with back or disc issues. The Belly Support helps keep your dog’s back properly aligned, which is ideal for dachshunds diagnosed with IVDD or other degenerative disc conditions.

It’s very easy to get your dog in and out of their Walkin’ Wheels dog wheelchair. First, place the front harness on your pet, making sure the harness is fitted to their body. Next, place your dog on the ground with the wheelchair positioned behind them. Gently lift your dog’s hind legs and place the legs through the leg rings before lifting the sidebars and clipping the harness to the wheelchair frame.

Every dog and disability are unique, so is their recovery process. We have seen varying degrees of rehabilitation with dogs using the wheelchair. Some dogs have been able to improve so much that they no longer needed the wheelchair. While your dog is in the wheelchair, they are getting physical therapy improving their physical and mental health.

It is our intention that every Walkin’ Wheels user be happy with their wheelchair. If you experience problems, please call us. Often we can help with a simple adjustment. Please click here for full return policy.

Yes, this is perfectly normal for a Dachshund due to the fact that their rear legs are three times longer than front legs.

If you’d like to help reduce this slanting and provide additional support, we highly recommend the Front Vest Harness. It does wonders for improving alignment and stability. Please note, however, that it is only compatible with the SMALL Doxie wheelchair.

Only Walkin’ Wheels REAR wheelchairs are currently available on Amazon.
