Pal's Success Story

Learning to walk Again!

Last spring , my dog was in a terrible accident and was paralyzed from the waist back. He had no movement in his back legs at all. Little by little, and with lots of therapy, he was able to regain his ability to walk. Honestly, I don't think we could have done it without the Help 'Em Up Harness. The easy of using the two handles on the harness helped us get him around and out of the car for all those rehab visits. Your invention played a huge part in Pal's recovery! We hope this inspires other folks if they find themselves and their pup in the same situation.

An extra boost

Thank you Help Em Up Harness for giving my dog and myself a little extra boost when we needed it most. My sweet Shepherd, Anya was diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy years ago. We unfortunately lost her in July 2016, but we were able to keep her going as long as we did thanks to this harness and our wonderful physical therapist.

Confidence restored!

We’ve tried other harnesses and slings and they were okay for the moment but the Help ‘Em Up harness is a life saver! Our German shepherd mix Tyson is 13 years old and has been living with degenerative myelopathy for about two years now. We felt so helpless when his hind legs would give out on him. He loves to go for walks and explore the world outside and this harness has made him and us more confident and secure while we’re out and about.

the best!

I was amazed and thrilled when I discovered that I can lift Luke into the back of my Jeep using the harness! We had been laboring at getting him into the car but now I can lift him into and out of the car with ease. I also purchased the walking handle and am able to take some weight off of Luke’s hind end when he has weakness.This harness is a lifesaver and I am so grateful for it.

Lilly, the Pit Bull Hero

This is the story of Lilly – the Pit Bull Hero – and the incredible rescue of her owner: Eight-year old Lilly was hit by a train in early May — before she was hit, Lilly pulled her owner out of the tracks and sacrificed herself to save a human life. Her right front leg could not be repaired and the only option was to amputate the entire limb. She endured a second surgery to repair her pelvis and rear left leg which is now supported with steel plates. Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston, who is renowned in surgery, was instrumental in her recovery, along with that of her beloved David, her family, and the wide array of supporters who send their aide:

We’d like to thank you again for the Help ‘Em Up Harness you sent us. I’ve been using the large size harness and have had nothing but a positive experience with it so far. It’s never pinched or hurt her as she is always in comfort and has plenty of range of motion when wearing it. She has another 1-2 months before she is able to safely bear her own weight. As always, thank you for your generous donation and I’m confident saying that your harness has and is still helping Lilly get back to her old self.

Gratitude for a Lifesaving Harness: Keeping Kassadey Mobile and Comfortable

Thank you! Your harness gave our beloved Irish Setter, Kassadey, the ability to live longer without leading to fracture based on her diagnosis of Osteosarcoma. Without it we would have lost five weeks of loving and special time with her that has meant everything to us. She kept her dignity to the very end. Thank you for making a product that maintained her mobility with a little help from us to the end. Well-made and comfortable, your harness allowed us to lift and move her when she became more vulnerable – and she weighed almost 90-pounds- when needed. I managed her movement on her own, thanks to your harness. You saved us back pain too. We are eternally grateful for your company and your amazing product. And we plan to pass our harness along within the family as our other family pets age and need help from their owners and best friend.

Post-Op Recovery for Ophelia

We just wanted to thank you SO MUCH for getting us the Help ‘Em Up Harness & Hip Lift as soon as possible. It works GREAT!!

Before we got it, we had been lifting Ophelia every day since her amputation, and she cried and wailed (no matter how tender or careful we tried to be). We properly fitted the harness & hip lift and was able to pick her up without a single whimper! It’s beautiful, and we can’t thank you enough. We are so glad that our surgeon recommended your product. It saved our sweet girl from so much unnecessary pain during this time. We will recommend your harness to everyone who loves their dogs.


A Blessing for Our Beloved Big Tuk

We are most grateful and have full hearts that we found the Help ‘Em Up Harness! It has been a true blessing and lifesaver for us. Our ginormous hunk of love “BIG TUK” has arthritis in his hip area and most recently has had trouble with stairs, getting in and out of the car or on the boat. He also suffers from separation anxiety and so he literally goes everywhere with us. We feel more confident now with this harness as we assist him when he’s needing help. It’s literally extending his life and honestly he looks quite sporty in his new accessory. It fits great, is extremely well made and easy to assemble on our big fella. Thank you for all that you are doing to assist the aging population in their golden years.

—Susan, Neil and of course BIG TUK


A Lifesaver for Tyson

I want to thank you for making this harness! We’ve tried other harnesses and slings and they were okay for the moment and they did their job but the Help ‘Em Up harness is a life saver! Our German shepherd mix Tyson is 13 years old and has been living with degenerative myelopathy for about two years now. We felt so helpless when his hind legs would give out on him and we didn’t know how to help him. He still has so much life in him. He loves to go for walks and explore the world outside and this harness has made him and us more confident and secure while we’re out and about. Thank you again!

Hoagie, Recovery After Disk Sugery

Having years of experience with all kinds of dog harnesses, trusses and dog wear of all kinds, I can say that yours is by far the best I’ve ever seen. Our Hoagie had disc surgery last February, and though recovering well, will need more and more helping up as the years pass. As I have a neck injury, it’s a godsend for me as well. We’re preparing and training him for this early with your harness. Superbly designed and flawlessly crafted with all the adjustments placed for a perfect and comfortable fit. Also a nice bonus touch with the reflective! Our Hoagie absolutely loves his! Thanks for a job well done, a true work of art and love.
