Old Pal Pets

More Good Days Together

We build mobility gear for the dogs who have been there for everything. When age or injury takes the back legs, it does not have to take the walks.

Why we started

It all started with our old family German shepherd and a back step he could not manage any more. He still wanted the walk. What had gone was the strength in his back legs, not the wanting.

We couldn't find anything at the time to help, so we set out to make that part simple: measure once, get the right frame, get back outside.

How we do it

Three things we will not cut corners on.

Sized properly, or we fix it

Our fit calculator starts with rear leg height, then uses weight and build to choose between the frames that height allows. If we still get it wrong, send it back and we replace it. You just pay return shipping.

Built for real walks

Air filled wheels that handle grass, gravel and trails rather than just kitchen floors. A padded harness that carries weight through the hips and chest, never the spine.

People who answer

Send a photo and a measurement to help@oldpalpets.com and a person will tell you what fits. Nobody here is guessing at your dog from a chart.

Who we build for

Nine sizes, from a three inch teacup to a thirty inch giant. Same guarantee on all of them.

Ready when they are

Measure your dog's rear leg height, run it through the fit calculator, and we will tell you which chair to order. It takes about a minute.
