Eddies Wheels | Wheelchairs for Handicapped Pets

Eddie’s Wheels is the inventor of the original front wheel cart, and over the years, it’s evolved into the simple, fully supportive vehicle pictured above. Built to each dog’s individual measurements and customized to match the level of each dog’s disability, front wheel carts have:

Taken the place of front legs for dogs born with missing or deformed front legs
Taken the weight off the remaining front leg for front leg amputees
Helped preserve the health and stability of the spine and rear legs by allowing dogs to walk in a normal posture.

Front Wheel carts are a more challenging learning curve than rear wheel carts, and require commitment from the dog owner to actually train the dog to use the cart. Using clicks and treats to lure a dog into the cart and move forward, eventually the dog learns that the cart will give them increased mobility and stamina.

Zachary needed a cart after many years of wearing out his remaining front leg had left him sore and lame. He was reduced to being carried around in a little red wagon until he received his front wheel cart from Eddie’s Wheels. Now he’s back to work as a service dog, visiting nursing home and hospitals.

Out on the town, on his own feet again.
