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!

May 25, 1PM – Portland Maine.
The dachshund in Tennessee was abused by a gang of teenagers and left paralyzed. A 4th grade class in Oklahoma, doing a class project with their teacher, Kathy Barton and HandicappedPets.com, rescued the dog by raising money for a dog wheelchair and air transportation to her new home in Fryeburg, Maine. The dog, formerly named “Boo” but renamed “Johanna” by her new caretaker arrived in Portland today. She was met by Lauren Smith of Fryeburg (her new mom), the owners of HandicappedPets.com, and a channel 6 News camera
Johanna gratefully folded herself into the welcoming arms of her new mom. Her 8 month ordeal began in Tennessee where an angry bunch of teenagers hit her with a bat to keep her from barking.
The cruel injury to her spine paralyzed her and left her incontinent. Her owner kept her tied outside to prevent damage to the floors and rugs. All she could do was drag her dead back legs behind her, leaving them scraped and raw.
Beth Farmer of the Humane Society of Warren County, Tennessee, did not let that stand. They took the dog in, providing a loving place to heal while placing a frantic plea for help in the form of a circulating email. Beth found Lauren Smith of Fryeburg, Maine who wanted to Adopt the dog. Lauren is a local representative of DogsDeserveBetter.com, an organization that works to unchain dogs.
At the same time, Judy Francis was interviewing Mark Robinson from HandicappedPets.com for the Hal Abrams radio show on Animal Radio. HandicappedPets.com was talking about Kathy Barton’s class and how the children were learning about the value of handicapped pets; the loving bond that is created when a living things care for one another. The children, in creating community awareness, raised $423.00 to help an animal in need.
As soon as Judy saw the email she called HandicappedPets.com. The 4th class was interviewed on Animal Radio and told of the plight of the dachshund (named “Boo” at the time). The class agreed, unanimously, to donate the money they had raised.
Animal Radio and HandicappedPets.com then called Lauren Smith, on the air, and told her the news that the transportation to Maine and the dog wheelchair that the dog would need were provided for. She was thrilled. The full interview with both phone calls can be heard on the www.walkinpets.com website.
Johanna was met with warm smiles and her arrival was filmed by channel 6 news in Portland, Maine.
A new warm bed awaits her in new home in Freyburg. The cart is being made now. HandicappedPets.com will deliver it in a few weeks.
Our warmest, heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make this happen!
