Details

Our Haute Wheels Dog Wheelchair restores the freedom and mobility that a multitude of injuries, surgeries, conditions, and even the simple progress of advanced age may have taken from your dog. The wheelchair's seven selectable sizes accommodate everything from toy dog breeds to Newfoundlands - as well as cats, pigs, goats, and other four-legged companions that may need a little help getting around.

The resilient aluminum frames are easily adjusted to match your pet's unique needs.  The padded harnesses provide a comfortable fit that accommodates leashes during walks and can be removed from the frame when your pet needs to rest.

Care & Use

Care:

  • Harnesses and Belly Belt are machine washable
  • Periodically check the adjustment screws and tighten them as needed.
  • Wipe the frame and wheels with a towel as needed to remove dirt or water.

Use

  • Consult with your veterinarian to determine the best treatment plan.
  • Make your home pet wheelchair accessible by installing ramps throughout your home. Teach your pet to use the ramps even when they aren’t in their wheelchair to reduce joint strain. 
  • Always supervise your dog when they are using their wheelchair, even if they are an expert at getting around in it, to minimize the risk of them tipping over or getting stuck.
  • Wheelchairs should only be used for supervised activities, such as going for walks and playtime. 
  • We recommend providing a 15-minute break from wheelchair after each hour of use. Dogs should not sit or lay down while using the wheelchair.

 

FAQs

FAQs

Will my dog's wheelchair fit through doorways?

Yes, but it may take your dog time to learn how to navigate through the door frame while wearing the wheelchair. Observe and encourage your dog while they are mastering this skill.

Can my dog “do their business” while using their wheelchair?

Yes, your dog can pee and poop with minimal to no mess. The rear harness includes a reinforced channel to provide support and urinary direction for male dogs.

Can my dog sit or lay down in their wheelchair?

No, this wheelchair is for active use only. Be sure to provide your dog with a 15-minute break after approximately every hour of use.

Can my dog use their hind legs while in the wheelchair?

Yes, if your dog has movement in their hind legs then they should be left out of the foot straps. You can remove the foot straps from the frame if your dog won't be using them. If your dog's hind legs are paralyzed, use the foot straps to prevent injury.

How long will it take for my dog to get used to the wheelchair?

It depends on your dog. Some dogs will only take a few days, while others may require much longer. Patience, praise, and practice are crucial in helping your dog become comfortable with their wheelchair, treats may also help.

Can I leave my dog alone in their wheelchair?

No, never leave your dog unattended while using the wheelchair. They could potentially get caught on or trip over things, which might result in injury.

Will my dog be able to play with other dogs?

Absolutely! However, it may take other dogs time to get accustomed to your dog's wheelchair. Always observe your dog’s interactions with other dogs.

Can my dog use stairs while in their wheelchair?

No, your dog will not be able to safely ascend or descend stairs while in the wheelchair. Remove them from the wheelchair to assist them on the stairs.

Can my dog go into water, like pools, lakes, or streams while using the wheelchair?

No, the wheelchair is too heavy for your dog to swim with. Any currents could also cause your dog to tip over. Never let your dog enter a body of water while using the wheelchair.

Very good product

My dog was diagnosed with spinal disease in the fall and she lost most of her coordination and muscle control in her hind end. The wheelchair allowed her back to have the proper support and rest it needed. She now does not use the wheelchair and is running around playing fetch again. I honestly didn't think I would ever see it again. I'm very appreciative of this assistive device!

HI Jacqueline! oh my goodness, what an incredible and heartwarming story! This fills our hearts with so much joy knowing we were able to help your sweet little pup in this way. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Please let us know if you ever have any questions, always happy to help!

The product looks great but I needed a better size. They will not agree to their own website policy. And said they can not do an exchange. Because of this I would either have to buy another one or wait for a refund to which I may only get a partial refund. Do not buy their is something wrong with this company and business policy are sketchy.

Worked great while I needed it

I ordered this for my disabled Holland Lop despite the support person advising that it wasn’t designed for a rabbit. I liked the build quality and price. I had to make a couple small modifications for it to work successfully, but it worked great for him. Unfortunately he unexpectedly declined rapidly and I had to let
Him go about three weeks after receiving the wheelchair. But while he was able to use it he was enjoying his mobility again and had adjusted well to it. I donated his wheelchair to an animal sanctuary that could use it.

Hi Scott,
First off, we are so sorry to hear about your sweet Cinnamon. Always loved and never forgotten. I can tell you that your visuals were definitely circled around our team as we thought it was SO neat how he moved so well in the wheelchair. He certainly touched our hearts. We appreciate you doing all you could to provide Cinnamon the best life. thank you for sharing your review with us.

Best,
Animal Ortho Care

Excellent well thought out design

The Haute wheelchair is very well designed and made. This is a high quality product.

In my case the size was not quiet right, but the team worked with me to get it right. Unfortunately, my dog was just too old and too weak to really benefit from this wheelchair. But this takes nothing away from their product.

Hi Adam! We are sorry about your pup but greatly appreciate the kind feedback! Being able to do everything we can to help your pets is so important to us, and that is a lot easier to do with high quality products. We are always here if you ever need any help!

It would have worked very well, if we had longer with the pup it was purchased for.

Hey Stacy,
We are so sad to hear about the passing of your dog.

Always loyal, always loved. Never forgotten!

Respectfully,
