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!

FAQs
The Buddy Up™ Harness gives your pet the rear lifting support they need to stay active. Fully compatible with the Walkin’ Wheels dog wheelchair, the rear Buddy Up Harness can be used instead of the standard rear leg rings to provide a comfortable saddle for your dog. Outside of the wheelchair, the rear support harness allows you to safely lift your pet’s back legs. The Buddy Up harness is the perfect lifting aid for dogs dealing with progressive mobility loss. As your dog’s mobility needs change, simply add the Buddy Up Front Harness to convert your harness into a full-body lifting support.
LIFTING SUPPORT FOR DOGS WITH WEAK HIND LEGS
Rear leg support for pets who have lost strength in their back legs. The Buddy Up features a handle to help pet parents stabilize, support, and lift their dog’s rear end.
WALKIN’ WHEELS WHEELCHAIR COMPATIBLE
This harness is fully compatible with your dog’s Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair. The harness easily attaches to your dog’s cart to easily lift your dog in and out of their Walkin’ Wheels.
ADAPTS TO PET’S CHANGING MOBILITY NEEDS
A dog’s mobility loss can change quickly. When your pet’s front legs weaken, the front Buddy Up Harness can be added for support and can be used in conjunction with your dog’s Walkin’ Wheels.
| Size | Weight Range | Abdomen Girth |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 30-45 lbs | 13″ – 20″ |
| Medium | 45-65 lbs | 18″ – 24″ |
| Large | 65-95 lbs | 22″ – 27″ |
| XLarge | 95-150 lbs | 26″ – 38″ |
Note – The rear Buddy Up must be connected to the front Buddy Up with the back connection strap to ensure it stays up on your pet when not in the wheelchair.
The Buddy Up Rear Harness is compatible with the Medium, Medium/Large, and Large Walkin’ Wheels dog wheelchair. The rear harness can be used to replace your pet’s existing leg rings for hind-end support.
For dogs using a Small or Corgi Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair, we recommend the Warrior Rear Harness.
The Buddy Up lift harness can adapt to your pet’s changing mobility. Our fully compatible Buddy Up Front Harness can be added to give your dog additional front support. Both harnesses can easily clip into your dog’s Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair (sizes Medium and Large).
When using the Buddy Up Rear Harness on its own, the harness should be worn only when your dog needs quick lifting support. When worn without the front Buddy Up Harness, the rear support can slip off and could cause injury. If you would like to keep the harness on your dog for extended periods, we recommend purchasing the Buddy Up Front Harness as well. The rear harness connects to the front harness to keep it safely in position.
Yes, both male and female dogs should be able to comfortably pee and poop while wearing their Buddy Up Harness. The rear harness supports your pet from underneath with a leg ring-style saddle, leaving plenty of room in front and behind for your dog to relieve themselves cleanly.
