What Makes the SureFit® Calculator the Best Choice?
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.

Our Pets Deserve the Same Level of Care As People Do
For the longest time, petcare products haven’t been made with the highest quality materials and components, and they haven’t included all the necessary features.
That is until Walkin’ Pets started developing petcare products that rival similar products used for people.
Before we opened our doors in 2001, it seemed like our pets weren’t treated like members of the family when it came to medical care products. Pet owners had no other option but to use whatever contraptions they could find online, or in the worst cases, put their beloved furry or feathered family member to sleep.
We knew there had to be a better way.
To All Pet Lovers and Caretakers,
There was a day when injured or special needs pets were “no good anymore.” When an animal was hurt, became lame or incontinent, or was for any reason no longer wanted, they were put down.
Not Anymore.
We are becoming more aware of the sacredness of all life. We are beginning to understand the power of the loving bond that is created when one living thing cares for another.
Our pets have become family members and deserve to be loved, respected, and cherished. The purpose and mission of Walkin’ Pets is to help people learn that there are alternatives to euthanasia. An elderly, disabled, or injured pet can often live a high quality life for many years if they get the little help that they need, such as diapers, a rear-support leash, or a wheelchair.
I created this company in the memory of a Keeshond, Mercedes. She was put to sleep at a vet’s advice after being diagnosed with a mild form of canine epilepsy. Years later, a dear friend was diagnosed with a mild form of epilepsy for which she takes a pill now and then to completely eliminate all symptoms.
The disparity between the two reactions to the same disease was unacceptable. I created this company to give caretakers the information and products they need to make the difficult, loving decisions that face them.
This website is filled with stories of hope and healing, as well as the products, services, and support that a caretaker of a disabled or aging pet needs.
The most common reaction we get from people when they hear about what our company offers is, “If only I had known about you before I put my dog to sleep.” We need to reach people. We need to tell them that there are alternatives.
Best Regards,
Mark C. Robinson

When It Comes to the Health of Your Pet, Quality. Matters. Most.
We didn’t cut any corners. Helping your pet live a longer, happier, more mobile life is our singular focus.
Product quality is incredibly important to us, throughout the manufacturing process there are several quality checks along the way. We do initial product inspections at the manufacturer to ensure that our products meet all of our quality standards. We inspect everything by hand.
Once the products arrive in our warehouse, there is another phase of inspection, where our specially trained team inspects our products again.
If they don’t meet our quality standards, we don’t sell them
We want you to rest assured that your pet will be in good hands, and that you can give them the gift of a longer, happier, more mobile life by your side.
Is our stance on quality clear?
