Walkin Wheels are excellent for helping your German Shepherd walk again. Your German Shepherd may have developed severe hip dysplasia, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) or have weak rear legs, lower back or hips. Your German Shepherd might have started to drag their back legs or lose balance, so keep them moving by taking the weight off their back legs with a set of wheels. Soon your GSD will be able to go on walks again. 

  • Excellent for GSDs with DM and back / leg / hip weakness
  • FREE Fitting Service! Email videos and we can check
  • Kit: Frame, wheels, harness, leg rings, stirrups, belly belt
  • 5 Year Warranty

Review: "Bought for my German Shep cross. No mistake this is a quality wheelchair, he has no pressure points or marks after being in it, and he would walk until he was exhausted if I let him. Another bonus is all the parts are available from Zoomadog. This chair IS a lifesaver, very well made, if you think it is pricey once you use it you'll realise for what you get it is the best money you will ever spend." (Stuart, UK]  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Questions & Answers

Have a Question?

Ask a Question

  • Can I fold this dog wheelchair flat in the car?

    Yes. The wheelchair can fold flat and easily be packed into a car. Loosen the end dial on the frame, you can then pack this wheelchair flat 

  • My German Shepherd has weak back legs. I am struggling to hold him up on walks. Would a wheelchair help him?

    Wheelchairs can be transformative for dogs who  have rear leg weakness - you will no longer pull your back and it will allow them to be mobile and independent again. If your German Shepherd has strong front legs, definitely consider getting a wheelchair.

Common Questions & Answers for German Shepherd Wheelchairs

What size wheelchair is my German Shepherd?

Most German Shepherds will go in a Medium or Large dog wheelchair. Use the weight of your GSD to work out what size they are. Get in touch if you need help: woof@zoomadog.co.uk or 01730 622544

What do you get with your wheels kit?
Your wheels come in a kit with a booklet to show you how to put them together. The kit includes: The frame, wheels x 2, front harness, leg rings, stirrups and belly belt.

What extras should I buy with my wheels?
For GSDs over 25kg, we recommend looking at three products:

Many people buy a Belly Support, this gives more support to your dog underneath their tummy and makes the wheels more comfortable. It also disperses the wheel weight more evenly. The kit comes with a Belly Belt, but this is thin and not as good for larger dogs.

The Warrior Front Harness, this is a more comfortable and wider harness than the standard harness which comes in the kit. It makes the wheelchair easier to pull.

The Rear Lift Harness, this helps larger dogs use the wheelchair. Instead of you lifting their back legs into the wheelchair each time (which can be heavy), put the harness click the wheels into the harness. This will also save your back.

When is your dog ready for a wheelchair?
It is so important your dog has two strong front legs. For the back legs, you can put their legs either up or down by using the stirrups. You can do this easily. Now your dog is in wheels they can get the exercise they need to live a happy, healthy and active life. We find dogs adjust easily to wheelchairs and they are off exploring in no time.

How do I measure my dog for wheels?
First, find the weight of your dog. Second, measure their back leg length. We will email you after your order to get your measurements.

Can my dog lie down with their wheels?
These wheels are for exercising and activity and don’t make lying down easy.

Can my dog go to the toilet in the wheels?
For non-paralysed dogs we recommend you take your dog to the toilet before they go in their wheels. In time your dog will learn to toilet naturally standing up. The most important thing is to reassure them that it's okay the first time so it’s a positive experience for them. If your dog is paralysed, your dog will go to the toilet while in the wheels.

My dog has an amputated leg. Can they have a wheelchair?
Yes, if your dog has an amputated front leg we recommend a Quad wheelchair. If they have an amputated rear leg you can start with regular rear wheels.

What is the delivery time?
2 – 3 days in the UK. We can ship internationally (anywhere).

Will my dog need boots if they drag their paws?
In the kit you will get stirrups, if you want to protect their nails or paws you can use the stirrups to hold their paws up off the ground. If you want to let your dog use their back feet to move along, we recommend putting boots on them. We sell Walker Active Boots which are a good choice.

What happens to the fitness of my dog?
In the first few days, keep a good eye on your dog. This is probably the most amount of exercise they've done in a while! Take it easy and give them a break from the wheels when you see them getting tired. Overall you will find your dog gets a lot more exercise and will be fitter than below.

Can I leave the wheels on all day?
Yes you can leave the wheels on all day. Most people find their dog really enjoys running around. Make sure to keep an eye on them in the first week, this is probably the most amount of exercise they have done in a while! Your dog can wear the wheels inside, outside and all-day.

Can I return the wheels if they don't fit my dog or if my dog doesn't like them?
Yes absolutely, we have a 14 day returns policy. We also have a wheelchair expert who looks over each order before they are sent out to ensure your dog has the perfect wheel size for them.

Fabulous company and wonderful people

Service was exceptional, caring and fast. Thank you. Unfortunately my boxer dog just could not get used to the Zoomadog wheelchair. Zoomadog (Megan) was so lovely and accommodating and accepted the return without question. So sorry it did not work out on this occasion but I have seen so many happy dogs using Zoomadog wheelchairs. Good luck and thanks for your great support. Keep smiling!

Talk about getting the best for my doggies life!

My doggie is a collie 14 and 3/4 - she is completely incontinent and suffers with degenerative myelopathy and recently the progression became quite rapid. I asked my vet about best way to help her. Indoors deposable nappies help and I wipe her before hand with a special wipe to keep her clean. Her hind legs drag and I have to be careful about knuckling scraping of feet and damaging her feet so I also have some little outside booties for her hind legs and use this wheelchair to support her legs and I’m so happy she still moves them. The other thing is that her back curls round when she walks usually due to the degenerative condition of her back and her hip… so this helps to keep her spine straight in a gentle helpful way. Every day is a bit different but apparently the condition itself doesn’t cause direct pain but causes stress on other joints and muscles so trying my best to help her have some fun and this is superb! She’s a special girl. 🥰

Best purchase. Dog tested, Dad approved.

I wasn't too sure about dog wheelchairs and the like, as I was always advised they generally do not allow for bodily functions and can cause more problems than they solve. The Walking Wheels dog wheelchair has completely taken me by surprise. My Husky, Russ, has got a new lease on life! He wasn't too sure what to think of it at first, but once he got going, the difference was immediate! Back legs walking (though he does need some protective booties for the occasional scrape) and tail actually up and wagging!

My boi is so happy with this, therefore I am.
