Pearl, a beautiful and very powerful amputee! This video allows you to accompany her as she receives her front wheel cart fitting.
Max, a 103lb German Shepherd, is defying the odds and living his best life at 10 years old, despite being diagnosed with Degenerative Myelopathy (DM). His devoted owners noticed a decline in his mobility and took proactive measures by acquiring an Eddie's Wheels variable axle cart in November. The innovative design of our variable axle carts incorporates an adjustable axle with multiple slots for wheel placement, facilitating a gradual transfer of weight off the front end as the dog's condition progresses. This cutting-edge wheelchair technology is particularly advantageous for dogs suffering from degenerative myelopathy or pug myelopathy, as it provides a tailored support system that adapts to their unique needs!
Elk antlers for dogs, let’s talk about it!
Elk antlers are healthy chews loaded with advantages for your canine companions. Today, we’re highlighting @raksnaks_ , a company with a cause, offering ethically sourced and 100% natural chews.
Benefits of elk antlers include but are not limited to:
Dental hygiene- helps reduce plaque and tartar buildup, leading to healthier gums and fresher breath.
Nutrition- Elk antlers contain essential minerals like calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and zinc! Dogs do not make these vitamins and minerals naturally in the same way humans do. These help promote teeth, bone, heart, muscle, nervous system and joint heath! A beautiful combination for all dogs including those with mobility concerns
Added bonus- Chewing on antlers provides mental stimulation, preventing boredom-related destructive behaviors.
Eddie’s Wheels has partnered with Mav (@iammarvelousmav ) and Raksnaks (@raksnaks_ ) to raise funds for a custom wheelchair. Use code “MAV” at checkout to receive 15% off and contribute to the fundraising effort. We will have more details to come but we just couldn’t wait to share!

Are you aware that a wheelchair can significantly improve mobility and quality of life for dogs with hip dysplasia, paralysis, surgery recovery, amputations, spinal problems, stroke, neurological issues, general weakness, and other mobility-related conditions? Regular exercise is essential for all dogs, and a wheelchair facilitates movement, promoting muscle tone and strength in the legs. This can even be a valuable aid for dogs undergoing physical therapy, enabling them to stand during appointments. Exercise also plays a crucial role in preventing depression, anxiety, and boredom in dogs, which can manifest as decreased interest in activities, unexplained whimpering or howling, decreased appetite, hiding or withdrawing from familiar people, changes in sleep patterns, and other behavioral changes. A wheelchair enables dogs to explore their surroundings, engage in playtime, and participate in mentally stimulating activities. If you suspect your dog is experiencing similar issues, please consult a rehabilitation or wheelchair professional to discuss options for your canine companion and help them regain their happiness and well-being.
Today Paisley took a remarkable step forward with her measurement and try-on appointment. As a brave 7-year-old dachshund living with IVDD, Paisley showed incredible resilience in the face of uncertainty. Initially hesitant in the new assistive device, Paisley's journey was transformed when Finch stepped in to demonstrate the true potential of mobility carts. This heartwarming encounter was a testament to the power of friendship and trust. We know once her custom wheels arrive home, Paisley will be zooming around like a pro! A huge thank you to Finch (our number one employee) for showing her that the wheels do not need to be scary as she can run like a puppy once more❤️
Bondi, a 153-pound Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, has been diagnosed with a fibrocartilaginous embolism, a rare but serious spinal cord injury. With the guidance of their veterinarian, Bondi was measured for a custom cart and received the wheelchair yesterday. The owner reports that the assembly was straightforward, and Bondi quickly became accustomed to walking with the cart, which was a heartening experience. Due to Bondi’s substantial size, his cart was shipped in multiple components. As Bondi becomes increasingly comfortable with his mobility aid, the owners will receive stirrups soon to ensure proper foot positioning. We extend our best wishes to Bondi for continued strength, comfort, and success throughout his journey with the support of his loving family.
Yesterday was a very Corgi-filled Wednesday for us as we had two measurement appointments for dogs suffering from degenerative myelopathy. The dogs, Winston and Lulu, were at different stages of the disease. Winston was unable to walk with his rear legs, while Lulu was still ambulatory, albeit with some knuckling and mild collapse. This highlighted the progressive stages of degenerative myelopathy, providing a valuable learning opportunity. Both dogs will receive custom carts to regain their confidence and freedom.
After a car accident in Hungary at five months old, Odin, a Dachs-Terrier-Mix, required an amputation at the right elbow and subsequently developed arthritis in his left shoulder and elbow. Nevertheless, thanks to his cart, he is able to run uninhibitedly at the beach with his humans and canine friends, as seen in this uplifting video.
Sending heartfelt birthday wishes to this vibrant 12-year-old! Hector's remarkable journey with his Eddie's Wheels cart for 11 years is a shining testament to his unwavering spirit and insatiable curiosity. With a sturdy cart and a heart overflowing with love from his incredible owners, Hector embodies an uplifting reminder of the incredible heights that can be achieved! 🐾🎂🥳
Do you recall our post about Flex from a few weeks ago? When we first met this incredible boy, he had very limited mobility in all his limbs. We had to take his measurements in our clinic quad just to keep him upright. We recently received a call asking if it was possible to modify his cart into a variable axle, and fortunately, we were still able to make changes. Today, Flex came to pick up his custom wheels and was able to move around with his front legs and hold his head high! It's truly inspiring to see such remarkable progress, a testament to the power of rehabilitation. Flex's mom has worked tirelessly with him, and the results are nothing short of amazing. 😍🐾
🐾🐶Customer review:🐶🐾“We wanted to thank you for your help ordering a cart for our mini dachshund Winnie, who has been left paralysed in her back legs due to IVDD at the very young age of 4. Her cart is amazing and it has given Winnie her life outdoors back. I have attached a little video of her out and about in the snow.”
Check out Casper, a beautiful white pug who unfortunately suffers from pug myelopathy. Such a beautiful video that helps show that our carts are built to withstand multiple types of terrain! Despite Casper’s ailments, due to his front end strength and a little help from his wheels, Casper is able to get over the fallen log and continue his hike with ease!
A family owned business making custom wheelchairs for pets with mobility issues.
