Hello Nancy,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that the wheelchair hasn't worked as expected for your dog. We appreciate that you reached out and are glad we could assist you with facilitating the return process.
We understand the frustration, especially after working with your dog’s physical therapist to find the right wheels. While our team assisted you with your return, we discovered that your dog's physical therapist had recommended smaller wheels (4"), which differed from the original wheels on the wheelchair (8"). We facilitated the return process and clarified that we only offer one style of all-terrain wheels, regardless of the size.
Additionally, while the 4" and 8" wheels we offer are designed to work well on grass and all other terrains, it's important to keep in mind that the effectiveness of a wheelchair also depends on your pet’s strength and ability to propel the chair. If your dog doesn't have the strength to pull their hindquarters while they are in the wheelchair, even with all-terrain wheels, it may still have difficulty moving smoothly, regardless of the surface.
If you find that the wheelchair isn't a suitable option for your pet, we’d be more than happy to help you explore alternative solutions. Your pet’s comfort and mobility are our top priorities, and we’re here to help you find the right fit. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any further questions or concerns—we’re always available to assist!
Best,
The Walkin' Pets Team
