Walkin' Wheels Dog Wheelchair - for Med/Large Dogs 50-69 lbs - Veterinarian Approved - Dog Wheelchair for Back Legs

This is a very ingenious little device. Butterpup has issues of always turning to the right and collapsing, and two MRIs and a spinal tap later, it appears it's going to stay. We ordered this and it has been excellent getting him to walk on his own and he has been expanding his walks and taking more interest in life now that he doesn't have to be carried around. It is lightweight--so much so that I can easily lift it with one hand--but sturdy. It came with all the pieces he needed and more. I was concerned about the wheels (foam) but they haven't locked up and easily manage passive-aggressive topology, such as small tree limbs and rocks, since pup was feeling adventurous enough to go cautiously off-roading. He can go to the stream again now and we don't have to fish him out after his legs give out. He's feeling quite empowered now. We read about one owner whose chow was "embarrassed" to be in one, but this chow has no problem with this *at all*. As soon as we saddled him up, he was off to the races, so to speak. I suspect he was just that tired of being hoisted up like furry baggage and wanted some independence back. Moreover, I think it is good physical therapy for him to keep his legs moving. The design is extremely well thought out and engineered--the front harness has a soft neoprene covering with extensions to ensure there is no rubbing; the attachments to the chassis are solid and ingeniously engineered to keep the carriage firm and safe. The underharness can be lifted out--if necessary, with the dog's rump inside, for short-term portage. Soft squashy foam guards over the nylon support straps keep the pup's undercarriage supported without discomfort. He had no problem depositing a gift baggie for us while he was in the harness, and did not have to fear collapsing in it--an upsetting thing for any dog to endure, let alone one as fastidious as a chow. Overall, this was a wonderful idea and has tremendously increased pup's quality of life. "...scoot down the road, what's my number. . . "

My boxer has degenerative myelopathy and is in the in between stages of paralysis and walking; I call her ms.wobbles. She does not love it but it allows her to freely walk over a mile so far! She can run and it sometimes appears as if nothing is wrong. She has become very popular downtown too. Many have been quite kind.Some cons: Her back paws do drag and she does try to walk with them despite the lameness, so I suggest booties of some kind for back legs. You will need to make adjustments and one of the clips is slightly dull but I feel that was a manufacturer issue. Also, I’ve noticed small changes in my initial setting, so ensure everything is setup appropriately before each walk as I have had to make a couple adjustments, for the bathroom time I do take her out of it- it is time consuming but gets easier over time and good to remind yourself that you are doing this out of love.Pro’s: fairly good design and durable, easy to adjust, padding for comfort, fairly easy to assemble, she can PLAY normalish again, she can run, and she can walk distances without limping or falling down, color surprisingly very nice and seems worth the money so far

3-4-5 STARS for the reason that this was obviously repackaged/used; the inside cardboard was torn, plastic wrap torn; the rails and tires were dirty and needed to be wiped. The product seems very sturdy otherwise. Not sure it is worth the dollar value but what medical equipment isn't overpriced? Size selection based on measurements is difficult to decide when the pet is right in the middle; we chose the large and prob should have gone with the medium. We bottomed out the lowest settings and are about an inch too tall it appears. we were afraid to top out the medium and not have any movement upwards, in this case we didn't have any downwards, and it is difficult to measure an ailing pet. No doubt this works well, seems sturdy, however we need to return it. YES, I would purchase another.

So very happy with the way this helps my dog! Easy to assemble and adjust. I felt like a tailor as I watched his inseam and leg length. He took to walking in it very quickly! Thank you! My sweet boy has progressive spinal degeneration ( dog version of ALS) so we will add the foot loops later. But, the pure joy of seeing him walk quickly and with pride in his step is priceless!

This was easy to assemble and very well made-I highly suggest it for dogs with hind leg paralysis, weakness, or injury. My dog refuses to use any assistive devices (he’s very stubborn :)). But this was definitely worth the money, worth a try, and an excellent product that can be adjusted to fit different needs and levels of physical impairment.

My boxer has spinal myelopathy. He started losing his ability to walk and use his hind legs in June. My vet told me that by December he probably wouldn't be able to walk any longer. She was correct. We had to stop going to the park and he was so disappointed when our other boxer got to go and he was left at home. I purchased the Walkin' Wheels Dog Wheelchair about 4 weeks ago. It took our sweet boxer one day to get used to it and the from then on, he can really move in it. He has pepped up and is so much happier now. He is moving his back legs in the stirrups as he walks and he is getting stronger in his front legs. This is a fatal condition so he will not recover, but he is able to exercise and move great! We only use it outside, so I don't know how it would be inside, but if you have the space so that it doesn't get caught on furniture, I'm sure it would work. Make sure to use the instructions to get the right fit. Every other dog he has met has been fine around it - we have a lot of doggie friends and none are afraid of it. He is able to urinate and do more in it, but we usually take him outside to complete those tasks before our walk.
