Big dogs deserve big adventures, no matter what.
The Walkin' Wheels Large is a fully adjustable rear-support wheelchair built to give big breeds their freedom back. Strong yet lightweight, it adjusts in height, length and width for a perfect fit, and the puncture-proof, rubber-coated foam wheels handle all terrain and clean up easily. The frame folds flat for transport and storage. Suitable for large dogs roughly 31-82kg (70-180lb), with five rear leg heights for a precise fit.
Rear support or full support?
A rear-support chair like this one is for dogs whose front end is still strong: they hold themselves up at the front while the chair does the work of weak or unsteady back legs. A full-support (quad) chair supports both ends, and is the better choice for dogs who are wobbly up front too, or living with a neurological condition. And here's the clever part: if your dog's front legs weaken later, you won't need a whole new chair. The Large Front Wheel Attachment converts this rear chair into a full quad.
Is a wheelchair right for my dog?
A wheelchair gives dogs back their favourite thing: moving under their own steam. For big breeds, owners choose one for degenerative myelopathy (common in German Shepherds), hind-limb weakness, arthritis, hip dysplasia, cruciate injuries, recovery after surgery, or simply the wobbles of older age. A few honest notes: introduce the chair gradually and supervise early sessions, your dog should be able to hold their head up comfortably, and dogs who are weak at the front as well usually need full support rather than rear-only. It's a tool that works alongside your vet's advice, not instead of it. Unsure? Ask us or your vet first; we'd rather help you choose well than sell you the wrong chair.

How it works
The chair arrives sized to the options you pick, then fine-tunes with simple push buttons: height, length and width all adjust in seconds, no tools needed. Your dog's back legs rest in soft, washable leg rings while the frame carries their weight, so they power along with their strong front legs, whether that's a gentle potter or a proper beach run. When the adventure's over, the frame folds flat for the car boot, and every fabric part goes in the wash.

Your questions, answered
Can a wheelchair really support a giant breed?
Yes. This frame is rated for dogs up to 82kg (180lb), built from the same aircraft-grade aluminium as the smaller sizes but sized and braced for big bodies. Great Danes, Mastiffs and Newfoundlands use Walkin' Wheels every day.
Can my dog go to the toilet while in the wheelchair?
Yes. The chair is designed so wees and poos happen naturally without anything getting in the way, one of the first worries every owner has and one of the first things they stop thinking about.
How long can my dog stay in the wheelchair at a time?
Start with short, supervised sessions and build up gradually as your dog gains confidence and fitness, following your vet's guidance. The chair is for active time: take it off for rest and sleep.
Will my dog need it forever, or can it help them recover?
Both happen. For some conditions the chair is a rehab tool that keeps muscles working during recovery; for others, like degenerative myelopathy, it's a long-term mobility aid that keeps quality of life high. Either way, staying active helps maintain muscle tone, circulation and happiness.
Can it be used indoors and outdoors?
Yes, both. The puncture-proof foam wheels handle floors, pavements, grass, sand and trails. Indoors, just supervise early sessions while your dog learns their new turning circle.
What if I measure wrong or it doesn't fit?
The frame adjusts across a generous range, so small measuring wobbles are usually absorbed by the push-button sizing. If something's not right, message us on WhatsApp with a photo and we'll sort the fit together, backed by our fair, transparent returns policy.
Can I upgrade to full support later?
Yes. If your dog's front legs weaken over time, the Large Front Wheel Attachment converts this rear chair into a full-support quad, no new chair needed.
How do I clean it?
All the fabric parts (leg rings, straps) are washable, and the aluminium frame and foam wheels wipe clean after muddy adventures.
