Pet Industry's First Fully Adjustable Dog Wheelchair Receives Patent

July 6, 2009 - PRLog -- Amherst, NH -  Mark C. Robinson, President and Founder of HandicappedPets.com, set out over five years ago to design the ideal solution for dogs who could not walk - an adjustable dog wheelchair.  HandicappedPets.com customers and contributors to the Help & Advice forum provided their insights and ideas.

“I wanted our customers to have a product that was fully adjustable, stylish and transportable so that the wheelchair would provide comfort yet still accommodate a dog’s changing needs,” Robinson explained.

Dog owners are often in emergency situations and want to assist their companions as quickly as possible, but customized dog wheelchairs require complicated measurements and can take up to two weeks to design and build.

The newly patented Walkin’ Wheels dog wheelchair requires only four simple measurements, can be ordered online, and is available for next day delivery.

“Being awarded this patent after 5 years of work is a significant accomplishment, and I find myself frequently glancing over at the framed certificate.  But the real joy is in the knowledge that today there are more than a thousand dogs walking and playing with their families because of the work of the engineers, vendors, and team members who made this happen with me,” commented Robinson.
