SureFit® Guarantee: we guarantee the perfect size, or we’ll pay your return shipping costs if an exchange is needed. That way there’s no doubt your pet will get the perfect fit.
We highly recommend using our SureFit® Calculator as it ensures the perfect custom fit for your pet. It requires a couple measurements, but only so we can provide your pet with the very best experience.
We recognize this takes a few minutes of your time, but those minutes are worth the happiness your pet will experience once they try out their wheelchair for the first time. Our wheelchairs have already helped more than 81,000 other pets. Let’s make that 81,001!
Other companies simply have you select a wheelchair based on weight, but that often results in a poor fit. Why? A 30 lb bulldog has a very different body type from a 30 lb corgi, but those companies will provide both with the same wheelchair.
Over the past 20 years, our pet mobility experts have handled more than 49,000 calls. No matter your question, we've got the answer. Give us a call!

Gettin’ these old bones off the couch can be hard – both for me and for my dog.
For my dog, at least, there’s help. Several specialized leashes, lifting harnesses, and harnessing systems can give a dog at any stage the help he or she needs to get the exercise so critical to their health.
The simplest is the Rear Support Leash, ideal when the dog needs just a little extra help. Instead of attaching a leash to a collar, this loops over the rear of the dog, giving support on the end it needs the most.
For mid-belly support, there are sling-style carriers that lift a dog by the midsection. Fleece-lined slings are recommended for comfort.
The next step up is a Rear Support Harness that slips on the dog like a pair of shorts, but has adjustable handles so you can give the dog a lift while taking good care of your own back. This is better for dogs that need more support while walking.
The most complete solution is a harnessing system such as the Buddy Up Harness. This starts with a full support rear harness that, if necessary in the future, connects to a front harness. It’s also wheelchair compatible so that if someday your dog needs a wheelchair, he can use the same harness he’s used to.
Back and knee problems, arthritis, and just plain old ‘old age’ get us all in the end. So let’s keep Walkin’!
