Pupster was born from a desire to improve the lives of dogs facing mobility challenges. Instead of conventional accessories, we recognized the need for functional wheelchairs. Many dogs suffer from leg impairments or amputations, hindering their ability to enjoy activities. Our mission is to provide a solution that enhances their mobility and quality of life. Our focus is on young, energetic dogs affected by diseases or accidents. These dogs still crave adventure—hiking, playing fetch, and exploring alongside their owners. Existing wheelchairs often fall short, designed primarily for short walks rather than dynamic activities like running or navigating rough terrain. To address these limitations, Pupster innovates with robust, terrain-adaptive wheelchairs. Inspired by bike technology, we integrate shock absorbers to ensure comfort and stability, even on challenging surfaces. Through meticulous research and development, we've tailored our designs to fit small and medium-sized dogs, optimizing usability and performance. Pupster stands for joy, resilience, and freedom. Our vibrant designs reflect our commitment to enabling dogs to lead fulfilling lives. By supporting their mobility, we empower them to overcome obstacles and embrace every moment with enthusiasm.
