Eddie's Wheels -- Dog Wheelchairs, Made in the USA Eddie’s Wheels designs and manufactures custom dog wheelchairs and wheelchairs for a variety of handicapped pets. As caregivers of disabled dogs for the past 20 years, Eddie and Leslie Grinnell knew what they wanted for their pets: a wheelchair designed for on and off-road play that would allow their pets to enjoy a good quality of life while they healed. A mechanical engineer by trade, Ed’s revolutionary design has been endorsed by veterinarians, rehab practitioners and canine chiropractors. Some of the benefits of an Eddie's Wheels wheelchair: Custom-built, tailored and engineered to match your pet’s disability and body shape. Welded, padded saddle gives your pet solid support on its pelvic floor, eliminating chafing to delicate soft tissue. Lightweight solid aluminum construction with wheels to match your pet’s terrain. Adjustable for height and length. Our exclusive Variable axle carts allow owners to change the balance of the cart to compensate for increasing weakness in the front legs for dogs with degnerative myelopathy.
Easy to use, indestructible and warranteed for the life of your pet. Hand Made in the USA in our own workshop in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, and exported all over the world! Check out our Dog Wheelchair Comparison page to find out more about the Eddie's Wheels difference. We offer free on-site training at Eddie’s Wheels to any veterinary professional who has an interest in learning how to evaluate, measure and fit pets for wheelchairs. When a dog has disabilities in three out of his four legs, it’s a challenge to figure out what kind of cart would be the best design. Teaching a front leg amputee to use a front wheel is challenging! Unless the dog is experiencing discomfort in his remaining front leg, convincing him that there is some advantage to using a cart may require some creativity on the part of the owner *Pricing of vehicles on this web site does not include options that may have been installed at the Dealership.

FOR the millions suffering in the Philippines, any help is a great help. But a Backwell charity is lending a hand in a very specific way – by sending 250 wheelchairs to the devastated country.Earlier this month Typhoon Haiyan, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Yolanda, battered the islands with winds of up to 150mph and sustained, torrential rain.At least 4,000 people are known to have been killed, making it the second deadliest typhoon to hit the country in its history.According to UN officials, about 11 million people have been affected and many have been left homeless. Motivation, which was founded in 1991, has launched a new emergency response wheelchair to help save lives when disaster strikes.It is specially designed for short- term use in a variety of crisis and emergency situations, from natural disasters to crisis refugee camps, where there is a desperate need for more appropriate wheelchairs.Motivation hopes that aid agencies will be able to deploy the chair in situations like typhoon Haiyan, where the severely injured and disabled are at the highest risk.
The charity has provided 200 of the new design to Handicap International and 50 to Johanniter International Assistance.Last night, it received the good news that Johanniter will be deploying its wheelchairs on Saturday with a view to getting them on the ground to the people who need them as soon as possible after that.Handicap International is still deciding where and when it might put the chairs to use.Co-founder of Motivation, David Constantine MBE, said: "Disabled people can be the most vulnerable in a disaster and are often deprived of rescue and evacuation services."Losing family members or carers, losing assistance devices such as wheelchairs and a lack of healthcare can be devastating."Wheelchairs distributed in the aftermath of natural disasters are often second-hand hospital chairs, which rarely meet international standards and frequently arrive too late to make a difference."In Haiti, an estimated 200,000 people were left disabled following the earthquake in 2010.Mr Constantine added: "The wrong chair – or no chair at all – can leave injured victims unable to access basic relief services like shelter, food and water."
And, for the long-term disabled, a conflict or disaster can be fatal."Mr Constantine was just 21 when, as a student travelling around Australia, he suffered a broken neck in a diving accident which left him paralysed.He was later offered a coveted place at the Royal College of Art to study for a masters degree in computer-based product design.One project was to design a wheelchair for people in the developing world, which he did along with fellow student Simon Grue.That led to him helping to set up a Motivation.More than 20 years on, Motivation makes about 13,000 wheelchairs every year.monly the "poorest of the poor", they face discrimination, exclusion and neglect.

They are oversized to allow a higher weight capacity and/or features that are catered towards larger individuals. Oversized chairs have a lower turn radius and maneuverability is also lower than the average wheelchair.Oversized chairs have a weight capacity up to 500+ pounds, which means that it can handle a wheelchair-bound individual who may be as large as 500 pounds. If a chair is categorized as “oversized” or heavy duty, you’ll more than likely find out that it is also heavier than the average wheelchair. Heavy-duty chairs weigh more because the frame was designed to be an exceptional weight-bearing device.Sometimes oversized can mean some thing totally different than heavy duty as well. Meaning that the chair may be too large for your use, but not for someone bigger. Meaning that you probably ordered one seat width size too wide for your body-type.Sometimes oversized can mean that an adult wheelchair was purchased for a child, which means that the chair seat width and maybe depth as well would be too large for a tiny individual.“
