Buddies Adjustable Dog Wheelchair — Rear Support Mobility Aid

Give your best friend their freedom, their walks and their dignity back. When a dog starts to drag their back legs, struggle to stand or lose confidence on walks, it's heartbreaking — for them and for you. The Buddies Adjustable Dog Wheelchair is built to give mobility back to senior dogs and dogs recovering from injury, so they can run, sniff, toilet and play like themselves again.

Designed around how dogs actually move, it supports the back legs while letting the front legs do what they love — go. Most dogs take their first confident steps within minutes.

Why owners choose the Buddies wheelchair

• Mobility back in minutes — lightweight rear-support frame takes the weight off weak or paralysed back legs so your dog can walk, trot and explore again.
• Made to fit perfectly — push-button adjustable height, length and width means one easy measurement gets a precise, comfortable fit.
• Built for real life — puncture-proof all-terrain wheels handle grass, gravel, pavement and the park. Your dog can also toilet while wearing it.
• Aircraft-grade aluminium — strong yet feather-light, so it never weighs your dog down. Folds flat for the car and storage.
• Vet-informed design — supports natural posture and spinal alignment, ideal for IVDD, hip dysplasia, arthritis, degenerative myelopathy (CDRM), cruciate injury and post-surgery recovery.

Specifications

Choosing the right size

Sizing is based on your dog's weight and back height. As a quick guide:

• Small — approx. 2–10kg (e.g. Dachshund, small terriers, Shih Tzu)
• Medium — approx. 10–25kg (e.g. Cocker Spaniel, Border Collie, Bulldog)
• Large — approx. 25–40kg (e.g. Labrador, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd)

Not sure? Message our UK team your dog's weight and the height from floor to the top of their back, and we'll confirm the perfect fit before you order. Every wheelchair is fully adjustable within its size range.

Frequently asked questions

Will my dog adapt to it?
Most dogs take their first steps within minutes and are confidently moving within a few short, positive sessions. Because it removes pain and effort, dogs quickly link it with freedom and fun. A step-by-step settling-in guide is included.

Can my dog wear it all day?
It's designed for active use — walks, garden time and play. We recommend supervised sessions and removing it for rest, just like any mobility aid.

Is it suitable for paralysis?
Yes. The rear-support design is ideal for dogs with limited or no use of their back legs. For full-support needs, contact us about our four-wheel option.

How long does delivery take?
Free, tracked UK delivery, dispatched within 24 hours and typically delivered within 2–4 working days.
