Meet Bentley, a charming Frenchie mix who has been relying on his trusty wheels for mobility since 2016. Despite his advanced age of 12, Bentley exudes a contagious zest for life and relishes every moment of exploration and playtime. His wheels have become an integral part of his life, empowering him to maintain his independence and enjoy the world around him to the fullest.
Neville was nice enough to give our upstairs staff a break and tend to the emails for us this afternoon! This is why Finch and Neville get the largest salaries here š
Obie, a handsome little canine, recently displayed indications of diminished rear leg strength. In response, a detachable outrigger was constructed to provide supplementary wheels and support for his hindquarters. It is worth noting that Obie has historically struggled with flexibility on one side, leading to instability in his gait. His human caregivers aim to consult with a physical therapist to enhance Obie's mobility and flexibility in the coming days. In the interim, the outrigger will serve as a supportive aid to assist him in maintaining balance and stability while his owners work to try and get him more mobile again. (Outriggers are not the same as quads or walkers, they do not take any weight off the end they are built for. They are strictly for balance and respite, just like training wheels on a bike)

Check out these adorable photos of Bean taking off in his wheels! These are absolutely adorable to seeā” Mobility truly is a gift and we are so grateful to be able to help your furry friends achieve this! A perfect dose of cuteness to get you back into the normal routine after a long holiday weekend here in the US.
At Eddieās Wheels, we prioritize the well-being of animals and recognize the difficulties that come with mobility issues in pets. Our canine companions are an integral part of our families, and it is essential to provide them with the best possible care, which doesn't have to end when they require assistance with movement. While our carts are excellent and have helped many dogs worldwide, I would like to take a moment to discuss another product we recommend and sell at Eddie's Wheels. I will share a personal story about my dog, Brock, a 7.5-year-old mix of breeds that commonly experience mobility issues. Over the past few weeks, we have noticed changes in his gait, rear collapse, tremors, leg favoring, and a swaying walk, among other symptoms. We are currently awaiting a diagnosis and have purchased a Help 'Em Up harness in the meantime. This product has been invaluable, particularly for those with dogs that are challenging to lift or for individuals with disabilities like myself. These harnesses are lightweight, gentle on sensitive areas, and designed to provide a pain-free comfortable fit for your canine companion. I highly recommend exploring this option if your dog is struggling with mobility and you are seeking an easy way to assist them with daily activities both outside their carts or when you are at a stage like us where they need help but are still a little to mobile for a wheelchair.

Fifi, a fennec fox at Lupa Zoo here in MA, is struggling with hind end paralysis that limits his daily functioning. Recently, he visited us for a measurement appointment and today, he picked up his custom-made rear wheel cart, specially designed for his small size and measurements. This was a very unique case and an interesting cart to build but our product staff loves a new challenge! Our team was delighted to meet him and witness his progress as he adapts to the wheelchair. We are grateful to be part of Fifi's journey.
Why does observing a dog being itself bring joy? Jonathan Safran Foer's quote resonates with many of us. Buscemi, a stunning Doberman Boxer mix, embodies this charm. Despite having a front limb amputation and requiring a custom front wheeled cart to help take pressure on his remaining limb, Buscemi exuded happiness and energy during his measurement. His owners have been traveling, making his visit quite the adventure. We're honored to have worked with him and eagerly await updates on his progress with his new set of wheels once they are finished with production
Valor, a handsome German Shepherd, came in today for a measurement appointment. This farm dog has been diagnosed with Degenerative myelopathy and is in need of mobility assistance. We trial-fitted him with one of our used carts, and he showed great promise. To provide ongoing support, we will be designing a customized variable axle cart with stirrups that can be adjusted according to his needs as his condition advances. For those of you who donāt know, degenerative diseases can significantly impact your pet's mobility in both the front and rear limbs, which is why our variable axle carts are designed to provide optimum support and comfort. The adjustable holes for wheel placement enable us to tailor the cart to your pet's specific needs, ensuring that the weight is evenly distributed and the front limbs remain strong for as long as possible. Our adjustable balance point helps maintain your pet's balance and stability, providing a better overall experience for your furry friend. We look forward to hearing about Valor's progress with his customized wheels.
Rilley says āis that treats I smellā? š¦“ā¤ļø
On a more serious note we have something we would like to bring to your attention: Reilly has been diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy and is on his 2nd dose of an injection that he was told would benefit him, but instead has caused his mobility to decline drastically.
it is important to note that prior to authorizing any injections or medication, it is crucial to conduct research at home. This is due to the potential side effects of certain medications, such as Librella, which can cause new or worsening ataxia and weakness despite its intended purpose. As a company specializing in mobility aids for pets, we have witnessed numerous cases of pets experiencing neurological issues due to this medication, despite many animal based facilities warnings. It is essential to maintain trust in your veterinarian but also to have open discussions and conduct personal research before making any decisions regarding new treatments. If you would like more information based on other companies experience, we would kindly direct you to the link below.

As the (semi) newly appointed Social Media Manager at Eddieās Wheels, I initially felt apprehensive about creating this post. However, I have since developed a strong affinity for my role and engaging with our followers on our social media platforms. Hello, Iām Elizabeth, and Iām joined by my two canine companions, Brock and Bella, the latter of whom is proudly showcasing her Eddieās Wheel Quad. I am thrilled to continue sharing captivating content and becoming acquainted with your stories and pets. Please feel free to forward any content/media submissions to my email address, [email protected].
Finnegan, a Border Collie with hip dysplasia, came in for a measurement appointment a few days ago. His calm and friendly demeanor won us over! His owner would like to see him move around and play with the other dogs at home, and we're eager to make that happen. After a successful trial cart fitting, we're confident Finnegan will be back to his active self soon. Stay tuned for an update on his pick up/fitting appointment in a few weeks!
Preston, a stunning canine, has been part of our clientele for a few years now, and today we received an email from his adoptive family inquiring about a second wheelchair for travel. It's fulfilling to know that our canine companions have found their furever home! We were delighted to receive some fantastic photos in the email and would like to share this charming dog's pictures with you!
Finch just canāt escape the pup-arazzi šø
We hope you all have a wonderful weekend and are ending our week with some beautiful photos of finch taken earlier today! See you all again next week ā¤ļø
Roger A. Caras once said āDogs have given us their absolute all. We are the center of their universe. We are the focus of their love and faith and trust. They serve us in return for scraps. It is without a doubt the best deal man has ever made.ā A quote to remember has we celebrated National Spoil Your Dog Day! We would love to see photos of your spoiled k9 in the comments! We are sharing a wonderful photo of Bella (a 13 year old pitbull) with her favorite toy, Lamb Chop! Bella has IVDD, osteoarthritis, an angular deformity in her front right leg along with a few other issues but since getting her Eddieās Wheels quad cart has been able to go back to things she loves doing! It is us as owners who provide for our furry family and we know how much you guys love them! Drop a photo of your beloved dog below to share the joy of this wonderful holiday.
Today we met a gorgeous belgian malinois, Pogo! This sweet boy was born with rigid rear legs and to compensate he gets around by bouncing like a pogo stick. This was definitely a unique build for us as we will need to do far forward front hanging stirrups to achieve proper movement in his cart. We used a donated cart roughly his size to figure out the exact placement needed and while this took some trial and error we ended up with a plan we are confident will help. Mom says he had a generic cart when she adopted him but it was not beneficial in accommodating his mobility. Pogo is such a young and energetic canine with a lot of life ahead of him and we canāt wait to see the progress he makes with the assistance of his custom Eddies Wheels!
We are inspired by Walt Disneyās quote, āAll our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.ā We are honored to be a part of making dreams come true for pets like Poppy, who faces mobility challenges. Our custom carts are designed to provide comfort and ease, allowing pets to continue enjoying life with their loved ones. We empathize with the heartbreak and frustration that comes with seeing a pet struggle, and we are committed to providing the best solutions to help pets and their families thrive.
Fashion and comfort unite in the form of Coco, the adorable Frenchie who knows how to make a statement while cruising in her cart. Cocoās instagram is filled with gorgeous photos of her fashion and independent that she achieves while rocking the Eddieās Wheels cart. I know a lot of our posts have been education and story based content lately so we figured weād set a light mood this evening showcasing how your pup can continue being the icon they are even after the challenges of mobility issues. We absolutely adore seeing all of the content posted outside of our shop. We get to work with some really big personalities and they continue to leave us in awe with their individualality and beautyšāØ
Emma arrived for a pickup today and stole the show with her irresistible teddy bear-like face! She quickly found her footing and began exploring our showroom alongside Finch, enthusiastically playing and showcasing her lively personality. We have been seeing quite the variety of different canine breeds and getting to experience all different behaviors, quirks and beautiful smiles. Truly a very happy couple of weeks for us and many more new faces coming soon!
As summer continues, we've been receiving questions about pet wheelchairs at the beach. We thought this would be the perfect time to share a beautiful picture of Rudy playing fetch by the ocean! Typically, carts are best suited for freshwater environments like lakes, ponds, and rivers, but occasional beach trips can be allowed with proper aftercare. If you choose to visit the beach before summer ends, please hose down the cart with fresh water as soon as possible and minimize saltwater interactions. We understand the importance of having fun and providing enrichment for dogs, so feel free to take as many freshwater trips as you'd like while being mindful of potential metal damage from saltwater exposure. Wishing everybody a happy, healthy and excitement filled summer!
Saga, an adorable and adventurous border collie thriving in her trial cart after her measurement appointment. Saga has had spinal surgery at Tuffs for a herniated disk but still suffers some level of mobility problems, but we are very confident to say she will do great once her custom wheels are made! She took off right away like a little race car ā¤
Dolly, an 11-month-old pup, is a ray of sunshine despite her unfortunate past. Her story is one of resilience, as she faces permanent mobility issues in her hind-end. Her playful demeanor and beautiful smile have captured the hearts of her foster parents and everyone she meets. Dolly is currently using a rental cart, but her foster parents are optimistic that her custom cart, which she was measured for today, will aid in her adoption. She is a determined young dog, and we wish her all the best in finding her forever home. She is currently under the care of Pittie Posse Rescue so please reach out to them if you are interested or seeking more information! š¾ā¤ļø Pittie Posse Rescue And Sanctuary
Audrey Hepburn once said, 'Nothing is impossible. The word itself says 'I'm possible!' Here is a story we think reflects this statement: Poppy, a charming dog, has been utilizing her wheels from our company since the beginning of this year, and we hear she's a natural! Her owners report that she's back to exploring everywhere like she did before her disease. It brings us immense happiness to see such updates from our esteemed clientele!
Oswego, affectionately known as Ozzy, returned for his pickup appointment after a previous measurement. This astonishing canine has been battling decreased mobility, but now experiences renewed liberty. We positioned bolsters on both sides of the cart to assist with posture and provide additional support. Ozzy quickly adapted, demonstrating his proficiency in navigating his new wheels! It was an absolute pleasure to assist this gentle and intelligent dog and his family throughout their journey!

š¾āØClient review/updateāØš¾ ~We purchased some wheels from you for our sweet boy chon several months ago and I just wanted to let you know how amazing he is doing with them. With his wheelchair he is now all-terrain and he loves every minute of it. He has had several different types of carts but never ones that could go in the grass, go down curbs, or over big cracks. He is always a smiley happy boy but he is extra happy when he is in his Eddieās Wheels!~ We are humbled and grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of pets and their families. Our team in Shelburne Falls, MA is devoted to crafting top-quality carts that enable pets to regain their confidence and mobility. We take pride in being a small town company with a global impact, spreading joy and improving the lives of pets everywhere. We recognize the importance of pets as family members and promise to continue providing exceptional support and care throughout their mobility journeys.

Can you believe this handsome big guy is 13 years old? š± This is Smokey, an absolutely gorgeous and well mannered English Labrador Retriever who came in for a measurement appointment today. He unfortunately has been suffering with age related hind end weakness and struggles to get around on his own. Smokey got to utilize a trial cart during his appointment and seemed a little apprehensive a first but once the treats came out he got to walking around with complete ease. Iām sure all our fellow lab owners out there know āall food must go to the lab for testingā!š It was such a treat meeting this astonishing and sweet boy today. We are confident once his custom wheels are ready; with the right motivation (food) he will learn his cart very fast!
Remington visited our facility today to collect his quad, a charming sight indeed! This customized quad features stirrups on both the front and rear ends, designed to assist with his mobility challenges. Following a recent dosage adjustment to his seizure medication, Remington has shown improvement in his mobility, although age-related decline in his limbs persists. Despite initial apprehension, he quickly adapted to his new cart and excelled in maneuvering it. We are confident that his new set of wheels will greatly enhance his future escapades, providing ease and comfort.
Yesterday was International Cat Day and we're thrilled to feature Atticus, a feline client with a story to tell! His determination to overcome mobility issues is inspiring, and we encourage you to reach out if you know of any cats facing similar challenges.
Get ready for a cuteness overload! Today was a special day at Eddie's Wheels as we had the pleasure of hosting three precious goats from Sowa Goat Sanctuary.

It was truly a happiness and excitement filled day for us! Goats are such beautiful and playful friends to have and we couldnāt of had a more rewarding day!
