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!

WASECA, MN (June 23, 2020) – Opie the hedgehog has struggled with mobility issues since birth. Born unable to move his back legs, the only way Opie could get around was by scooting on his belly and dragging his back legs behind him. Seeing his determination, Opie’s mom wanted to do everything she could to help Opie walk on his own. After hopping online to do some research she came across Walkin’ Pets, a company who specializes in pet mobility. She reached out to see if they could help.
Always up for a challenge, the Walkin’ Pets team knew they had to help. Weighing under a pound Opie is a fraction of the size of most of the animals using a Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair. The team knew Opie’s wheelchair would need to be tiny, in fact Opie’s one-of-a-kind hedgehog wheelchair is the smallest wheelchair the company has ever built! Designed to be as lightweight as possible, the wheelchair frame to 3D printed which allowed the Walkin’ Pets team to reduce the wheelchair weight by nearly 60%. Since Opie is still a baby, his Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair is designed to adjust with him as he grows and features easy to maneuver roller ball wheels that allow Opie to steer in any direction.
Opie’s not alone, hedgehog mobility loss is not uncommon. Although Opie’s mobility problems likely occurred in utero, it more commonly stems from a condition known as Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome. Opie and his mom hope that by sharing his story, they will be able to help other mobility challenged hedgehogs.
