Mark C. Robinson is the founder and Chief Executive of Walkin’ Pets and the inventor of the patented Walkin’ Wheels^® Adjustable Dog Wheelchair.

Mark originally created the website at HandicappedPets.com to support caretakers of elderly, disabled, and special needs pets; providing them with the products, services, and support they need. He invented the Walkin’ Wheels in response to discussions and comments from the community of caretakers that use the website. The original forum is still active at HandicappedPets.net.

“The world is changing in the way it cares for animals. Pets have become family members and now have access to the health care and support they need to live happy, healthy lives. It’s a privilege to be a part of this shift and a joy to see animals celebrating their new freedom and mobility.”

-Mark C. Robinson

Watch Mark C. Robinson, selected from thousands of inventors, pitching the Walkin’ Wheels to Walmart for their “Get On The Shelf” contest.

“The whole process and the presentation was fun and challenging. I was not the winner, though. They chose a line of Elvis Presley themed bedsheets. It’s an honor to have lost to The King.”
