Nashua, New Hampshire (March 10, 2011) - Mark C. Robinson, inventor of the Walkin' Wheels dog wheelchair and President of HandicappedPets.com, recently was invited to meet with staff and students at the University of Georgia Veterinary Teaching Hospital to discuss how dog wheelchairs can improve the quality of life for an injured or handicapped pet.
Mr. Robinson demonstrated how the revolutionary features of the Walkin' Wheels dog wheelchair make it ideally suited for both long-term and rehabilitative use. Unlike older custom canine carts that require numerous measurements and are designed to fit a single dog, the Walkin' Wheels dog wheelchair requires only one approximate measurement of a dog's height; and it fully adjusts in height, length and width to accommodate different sizes of dogs and/or changing physical needs such as increases or decreases in size and level of mobility.
"Too often, we hear from our customers that they initially believed euthanasia was their only choice for a paralyzed pet. Our goal is make both pet owners and veterinarians aware of the options available to assist in caring for a dog that is either permanently or temporarily unable to walk," Robinson explained.
In an effort to provide for continued learning about the many uses for a dog wheelchair, HandicappedPets.com also donated a Walkin' Wheels professional reseller kit to the University of Georgia Veterinary Teaching Hospital. The professional kit includes the one universal, adjustable Walkin' Wheels frame along with five different sizes of interchangeable wheels to fit any size dog weighing approximately 20 pounds or more. Also included is a Walkin' Wheels Mini dog wheelchair that can be similarly adjusted in height, length and width to accommodate dachshunds and other small dogs weighing approximately 20 pounds or less.
