What Comes With the Walkin' Wheels Dog Wheelchair

The Parts of the Dog Wheelchair

DSC06666Frame:

The Large Frame itself is powder-coated aluminum. It will not bend, break, or rust. The molded plastic knuckles attach the frame and the legs in such a way they cannot possibly slip. 360 degrees of 'teeth' hold the knuckle in place at every point.
On the side of the knuckle, a spring-loaded turning cap allows you to loosen the knuckle and swivel the legs up or down.

About three turns of the knob should be enough. Do not turn the dial so that it comes all the way off -- although if you do, it is easy to screw back on.

 

Wheelchair Parts-201

Width Connector:

The 9" width connector connects the left and right side of the frame together is adjustable between 9" - 13.5" inches wide

 
 

DSC06634Length Extender:

The length extenders connect the front harness in place with the cart. The length extenders are adjustable. However, there are two different sizes. The large extenders adjust in length between 18-25 inches long.

Length is determined by back of front leg to back of rear leg.

 
 
 

The Front Harness: FrontHarness-2
The dog's head goes between the blue and black strap, and the red strap goes around the chest and clips on the side of the harness.

The shoulder pads (A) are made of neoprene and keep the straps and buckles from causing discomfort for the dog. The red strap (B) goes behind the front legs, underneath the chest and holds the front harness securely when clipped into the side panel. Neoprene comfort sleeves wrap around the straps for the dogs comfort. It is best to take comfort sleevpg13-2es off while adjusting the three straps snug to your dog. Comfort sleeves can be cut in half if they are too long.

The only difference between the regular and large front harness is the length of strapping. The girth of the regular harness is 48" max.

 

Parts of the Wheel Kit

legs3

Struts: 

One set comes in wheel kit.

Struts are what the wheels are attached to which then snap into the cart. The struts are adjustable within a range of three inches. The struts come in 4 different sizes: 6, 9, 12, & 15 inches. Each wheelchair comes with an appropriate set of struts based on your dog's Fold of Flank measurement.

 

DSC065271Leg Rings (Shown Attached to the Dog Wheelchair)

The hindquarters of the dog are held in place by the leg rings, or our rear harness support system. We have found that most dogs adapt quickly to the leg rings. The leg rings are included with the cart.

The leg rings that come with your Walkin' Wheels work great used as a lifting harness. The excess strapping can be Velco together to make handles on each side.

 

 

Foam Wheels:

One set comes in wheel kit.

Each Wheelchair Large comes with one set of 12" wheels based on your dog's Fold of Flank measurement.

At the checkout you will have a choice of standard rigid foam wheels or air/pneumatic wheel options

The 12" and 16" wheels are outfitted with bearings.

 

 

 

Coloured Wheel Option:

Designed for the Walkin’ Wheels dog wheelchair, the foam wheels are durable and designed for all terrains. Customize your pet’s wheelchair with designer wheels in nine fun colour options. Available in 12″ foam wheels only.

  • Available in 9 vibrant colours: Blue, Gray, Green, Purple, Red, Yellow, Apple Green, Orange, and Pink.
  • 12″ foam wheels only
 

BellyBelt-1

Belly Belt:

The Belly Belt will help support your dog's back. Highly recommended for:
1. Dogs with a long back
2. Overweight or elderly dogs
3. Dogs with curvature of the spine
4. Dogs with disc problems

One Belly Belt is included with each wheel kit.

 

Stirrups-3

Stirrups:

These are used to keep your animal's back legs from dragging on the ground if the legs are paralyzed or weak. The length of the stirrups can be easily adjusted by moving the clip down on the rope and re-tying the knot.

The Fold of Flank (FOF)

 To measure the height of your pet for our Walkin Wheels, measure from the ground to the “Fold of the Flank” as shown here.

walkin' wheels dog wheelchair measurement

If you are unsure about how to measure, please call us (778-809-7421)  and we would be happy to assist you!

Overweight pets:

If your dog is overweight, the FOF may hang down, making the measurement shorter than it really is. Try to move the flank up to a normal position, to get an accurate measurement.

Long Haired Pets
If you have a long-haired dog, you can locate the fold of the flank by pushing the hair back and feeling for the fold of flank skin.

 Tips:

 Use a metal retractable tape measure or yardstick, place it in front of his rear foot and measure straight up to the bottom edge of FOF.

 DO NOT stretch the dog’s leg and foot out. Try to have the legs in the most natural standing position possible.

Get the FOF as accurate as possible
If your measurement is inaccurate, you may need to exchange the wheels or struts at your expense.
 

fof3-300x225

If your dog cannot stand:

If your dog cannot stand, you can measure the fold of the flank when he is lying on his side. In order to get an accurate measurement, position the dog’s rear leg in a normal standing position: knee joint and hock joint will be slightly bent. Bend the dog’s foot at his ankle (like it would be if he was standing on his foot). In this picture the yardstick shows a FOF of 18 inches.

Do NOT stretch the dog’s leg and foot out as this will add several inches to the fold of flank and give you an inaccurate measurement.

How it should fit:

If you've received your pet's wheelchair and are not sure if you've got it set up properly, take a look at the example below:

image031

A – Knuckle at the hips. If you were to draw an imaginary line from one knuckle to the other, the line would pass right through the dog’s hips… where the bone of the leg meets the bones of the body. If not, tighten harness and/or adjust length. Allow 1″ on each side between dog and black knuckle.
B – Front Support loop at the shoulder. The loop on the front harness that the bar goes through should be at the shoulder. Adjust the straps so that the loop is held firmly against the shoulder. Then clip into cart.
C – The dogs back needs to be straight or arched UP (slight hunch). In this photo the dog’s back is arched down a little. This is NOT correct and this dog needs the Belly Strap.
D – The back legs need to be just touching, or just off the ground, depending on the health of the back legs. If the dog wants to use his back legs, then allow his feet to touch lightly. This is often adjusted by tightening the straps that hold the harness to the frame – this brings the dog’s seat up. (Take the dog out of the harness before adjusting.) If the height of the harness cannot be changed, then lengthen the leg struts. Consider boots if the feet drag. Use the stirrups if the dog cannot use his back legs or the feet are dragging on the ground.
E – The horizontal bar needs to be level.

If you have tried all of the suggestions and are still having a hard time, please call us at 778-809-7421. Our staff will be happy to assist you.

 Removing Your Pet From the Wheelchair

How to take your pet out of the Walkin' Wheels Dog Wheelchair
How to take your pet out of the Walkin' Wheels Dog Wheelchair

“Can my Pet Pee and Poop in the Wheelchair?”
Yes, that’s the point of the dog wheelchair — to help your dog get the exercise he needs and do his business.

“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.

“Can my dog lie down in the wheelchair?”
If you have a Dachshund or Corgi, 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 Pet Use his/her Rear Legs in the Wheelchair?”
Yes, 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.

“How Do I Measure My Dog?” 
Click here to find out

“How soon will I get my wheelchair?
All wheelchair orders placed prior to 12 Noon EST Monday through Friday will usually ship the same day. Shipping time can range from 2 to 8 business days. Express shipping options are also available.

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

“What is the return policy?
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. If you feel the wheelchair is not for you, we can issue a RETURN MATERIALS AUTHORIZATION. Please note that wheelchairs returned without a return materials authorization will not receive credit. Please click here for full return policy.

“Can my dog still use his back legs with this wheelchair?
Yes, this will help him/her develop the muscle in the rear legs while using the toe pads to push off. If the legs are paralyzed, then you will use the stirrups to hold the feet off the ground.
