Walkin' Wheels™ vs. Eddie's Wheels™ Dog Wheelchair Comparison and Review

Comparing Eddie’s Wheels Custom Mobility Cart to Walkin’ Wheels™

 This comparison is being made by Ed Grinnell, founder of Eddie’s Wheels™, and is based on his lifetime of experience in mechanical engineering.  Eddie’s Wheels carts have earned the praise of mechanical engineers and the respect of physical therapists and vets who understand the bio-mechanics of canine anatomy. 

Ed Grinnell built his first dog wheelchair for his own dog, Buddha, in 1989.  He spent the next 10 years developing his dogcart design, in collaboration with his veterinarian, with the aim of addressing the most common problems associated with dog wheelchairs – how to support a paralyzed dog in a cart without causing wounds and decubital ulcers in a cart that was strong and stable enough to allow a dog to walk in the woods, wade in a stream and run after a ball. Since it's inception in 1999, Eddie's Wheels has a set a new standard for mobility aids for animals, high quality engineering, durability and a lifetime of your animal warranty. Ed Grinnell and his wife live with four disabled dogs, two in rear wheel carts and two in front wheel carts. All Eddie's Wheels carts are built from scratch in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts by hand.  We employ 16 Americans and actually export our American made products all over the world.
