Walkin' Wheels Ski Attachment

This is a video showing what someone is calling "Skiin' Wheels". :D It is ski attachments to put on Walkin' Wheels. I tried searching under "skis" but couldn't find them for sale on the Walkin' Wheels website or HandicappedPets.com so I don't know if they're selling them yet, you might have to call and ask. I can't think of anything much cooler than buying skis for your dog. I love the green! (click photo to enlarge)

Interesting! I wonder if maybe the skis are unofficial, perhaps homemade? Neat idea, though.

We've been working on this product for a while. The video is from one of the testers. The page isn't quite finished yet, but if you want a preview-peek, it's here:

Hi,

The skis are available for $99.00/set for dogs with the medium or large Walkin' Wheels. They haven't been posted yet but you can call to order a pair. We will need to know the fold of flank measurement:

Very cool. Really takes advantage of the ability to change quickly from one strut to another. I wish we could test them but we don't have any snow (and don't often get it- (It's Juneuary here.)
