Veterinarian Approved:
"I had to rethink what I was taught in veterinary school about carts.. I now know them more as an assistant in the rehab process and not a last resort. I've seen so many patients benefit from a set of Eddie's Wheels.. and I have seen patients use carts from other companies and watch them struggle, and then see them excel in a cart from Eddie's Wheels. Why? I believe it is a combination of the knowledge, experience, and individual attention that each owner and pet receive.. Their expertise in understanding the biomechanics between the pet and the cart makes for a superior cart compared to all others out there."
-Dr. Matt Brunke, DVM, CCRP
"A well fitting cart can be a remarkable asset to a rehabilitation program. I recommend Eddie's Wheels to all my clients who could benefit from a cart.. the quality of craftsmanship of Eddie's Wheels is unmatched!"
For the past 20 years, ever since his own Doberman Pinscher, Buddha, became paralyzed due to disc disease, Ed Grinnell has been designing and manufacturing mobility carts for dogs with disabilities. A mechanical engineer by trade, he brings a lifetime of professional experience to this work, incorporating the highest engineering standards with special consideration to each pet's unique disabilities and anatomy. Ed and his wife Leslie live with two disabled dogs and are constantly learning from them new ways to perfect the design. See Eddie's Wheels on the Today Show here!
