Listen to Leslie Grinnell, owner of Eddie’s Wheels describe how she and her husband Eddie, a mechanical engineer, created their first wheelchair for their beloved dog, Buddha, over 30 years ago. This labor of love turned into a business in 1999 that has manufactured over 25,000 custom mobility carts for pets! The patented unique welded saddle distinguishes Eddie’s Wheels from other carts, and they now have over 2,500 saddle designs. It is akin to riding a bike vs. hanging in a rock climbing harness, allowing your pet to experience consistency and start from a point of stability. Serving special dogs all around the world from 2 to 240 pounds, Eddie’s Wheels restores independence for every animal customer. But wait, it doesn’t end there! The company has created a cart with a variable axel that adjusts as your pet ages or their disease progresses. They make carts for dogs with amputations or simply needing a little assist after cruciate surgery. They can accommodate any skeleton (learn about Harry!). Not only do these carts work for dogs, cats, and rabbits, but also aardvarks!! What? Listen to learn how a cart might give you or someone you know, their dog back. A cart isn’t the end, but rather a new beginning as mobility and independence is restored.
