FAQs

How does the Walkin’ Wheels dog wheelchair work?

The Walkin' Wheels rear dog wheelchair is designed to support a pet's hind legs from underneath, providing stability and reducing pressure on their back legs. The wheels of the cart are aligned with the pet's hips, enabling proper support in a natural standing position. This allows the pet to walk naturally while using the wheelchair or lift their legs off the ground using the stirrups if they are paralyzed.

Can my pet pee and poop in the wheelchair?

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.

How do I measure my dog for a wheelchair?

It’s easy to determine the right size Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair for your pet. All you need is two simple measurements to choose the right size wheelchair for your pet: 

  1. Measure the Rear Leg Height to the toe pad, ideally when your pet is laying down. Do not pull the leg tight; leave some natural bend. 
  2. Your pet’s armpit to rump (ATR) measurement. To measure your pet’s length, measure from behind the front leg and across to the end of your dog’s body or rump.

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, while using their cart your pet will work to develop the muscle in the rear legs and build up their stamina as they exercise. A dog does not need to be fully paralyzed to benefit from using a dog wheelchair. If the rear legs are paralyzed, then the stirrups will keep their legs from dragging.

Can my dog use their Walkin’ Wheels inside the house?

Yes. Many dogs will use their Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair both indoors and outside. Inside the house, the medium wheelchair can maneuver around furniture, across the floor, and easily fits through narrow doors and hallways. Remember, using a wheelchair is new for your best friend, too. It may take your dog some time to learn how to navigate around indoor obstacles. Your dog’s wheelchair does camber outwards at the wheels. When first trying the wheelchair, we recommend doing it outside so your dog can get used to using their wheelchair without having to worry about bumping into furniture. We recommend a lot of praise and encouragement as your dog gets used to life on wheels!  

Can my dog lie down in the wheelchair?

If you have a small pet, it is OK for them 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.

Can my dog sit in a 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. 

How do I know if my dog needs a Medium or a Med/Large wheelchair?

The size of the cart your dog needs will be determined by your dog’s weight and height. Both the medium and medium/large wheelchair frames are the same size, the only difference is the size of the wheel.

For the medium dog, dog's weight is between 26 - 49lbs. and the wheel size is 8".

For Med/Large wheelchair, the dog's weight is between 50 - 69lbs. and the wheel size is 12" or 16">

Why should I choose an adjustable wheelchair for my dog?

The Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair is an adjustable cart that allows for 2-3" of adjustability in both height and width, and even more in length. This level of adjustment allows you to finetune the fit of your dog’s cart for a customized fit. With an adjustable cart, your dog’s wheelchair can change as your dog’s body changes. Whether your dog gains weight, loses weight, or is still growing, the wheelchair can be adjusted to fit their changing body throughout its lifetime.

Additionally, for pets dealing with progressive mobility loss, the Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair can easily convert to a full support cart by adding a front attachment. Allowing your pet to use the same wheelchair the entire time.

Will this wheelchair rehabilitate my dog?

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.
