"Having recommended the Help 'Em Up harness to countless dog families in my practice, I only fully grasped its value when I had to use it for my own dogs—Serissa, then Duncan, and finally Sam. The experience was a game-changer. Not only did it provide crucial support for my pets, but it also spared my back from strain. By enhancing their support and mobility, it significantly improved their quality of life and extended their years. The combination of features and comfort makes this harness my top recommendation for any patient struggling with mobility issues. It's simply unparalleled!"

All Your Questions, Answered

How long can my dog wear the Help 'Em Up Harness?

It can be worn comfortably for extended periods of time, but we do suggest giving your dog a break when it’s not needed. Let them sleep without it if possible. Have a dog that needs a 3am potty break? Just take it off when you come back inside. 

Loosen the straps when your dog wants to lie down in it to help prevent hot spots, chafing or overheating.

When left alone, some pups may start to chew on the harness, so we suggest inspecting the harness often. Watch for signs of discomfort, hot spots, and overheating and remove immediately if your dog is bothered.

Is it possible for my dog to relieve themself wearing the dog harness?

Yes! The support straps between your dog’s hind legs are held apart by their tail, giving full clearance for defecation. Both male and female dogs can comfortably urinate with the Conventional Hip Lift without issue. For those male dogs whose penis is further back between their hind legs, we recommend the U-Band Hip Lift.

Is the harness washable?

Yes, all of our dog lifting harnesses can be machine or hand washed, but we recommend air drying (dryers tend to dry out the neoprene over time). Clean regularly with mild soap and consider using a Help ‘Em Up Wash Bag to increase longevity. We do not recommend bleach or other harsh detergents. If urine odor is an issue, soak in white vinegar and water (1:3 ratio) and wash with mild soap. There are also commercial cleaners available that can help to cut odor.

Can I use the back-end Hip Lift by itself? 

No. The front half of the dog harness can be used alone but the Hip Lift (the back half) needs to connect to the front half to stay in place, otherwise it can slip off and cause an injury.

What can I do with my dog harness if I no longer need it? 

Donate it! Your local vet, vet hospital, therapist, animal shelter, or adoption clinic likely has many dogs who are in need of this support.

Is there a wholesale option?

Best dog device ever! 15/10!

I have 3 senior dogs that are all about 70 lbs. One of them needed to have her front leg amputated and my daughter who is a vet recommended getting one of your harnesses. At first I thought they were a little pricey, but after using it for a week (heck even the first day!), I realized it was worth every single dollar!! We have house with stairs everywhere and I am sure that we will be using it over and over for our senior babies. Enough straps to provide support without taking 20 minutes and 4 people to put on. Also flexible - because she had to stretch and use her back legs to strengthen them, we were able to remove the back part of the harness and still support the one leg in front. Run, don’t walk to get one of these! 😂 Great product all around!

Helps an aging dog keep moving

Our 13 year old German Shepard has very bad rear hips. She has trouble walking and stairs are not possible unsupported. We were having to leave her alone on the main floor. With her harness we can safely support her on the stairs. No more falling risk for her going down or risk of both of us falling trying to carry her. The rear straps also help keep her legs from twisting so she walks better with the harness on. We are very happy with her harness and recommend it highly.

Your sizing recommendations are off. My dog is 128-130lbs. The extra is way too big.

Not happy with your size recommendation. By HSrley is about 130, but xl. Way too big.

How did I live without this!

For a year I used a towel to help my sweet Zeus get around after a failed TPLO surgery. I was blessed to happen upon a Facebook page that referenced this harness and I bought it immediately. i initially bought the blue but had to later buy the orange for a better fit. It has changed my life and Zeus' life immensely and I'm so grateful to Help'em Up Harness for thinking about our fur babies and making such a wonderful product.

This harness is a game saver!! My dog had spinal surgery, and this harness is truly helping for his recovery. I bought the U band for my male French Bulldog (27lbs), and fits perfectly. Also the customer service is very on point, I had to make a last minute change to my order and the team was very responsive. I also bought the loops, strongly recommend. I paid extra for next day shipping and even if I’m located in Canada, I did receive my order the next business day. Highly recommend!

Excellent harness and customer support

The help them up harness has proven to be a great addition to our support system for our aging dog. I now feel confident taking him for walks off of our property because I know if his back legs get weak I can help him up. Before placing my order, I contacted customer support and provided them with my Dogs measurements. They recommend recommended going down a size to the medium and that has proven to be the perfect fit for him, so kudos to customer support.

The gift of time

Our 23 year old Golden was experiencing hind end weakness. We tried a rear end harness that kept falling off. Your harness hooking the front to the back is life changing for both of us. It is almost effortless to help her up now. You have us the gift of extra time with our precious, Sparkle! 💖She is able to do her normal dog routine like watching out the gate now. Thank you!!!!!

Absolutely a lifesaver for our Mastiff

The help me up harness has honestly been a lifesaver for us. Barbie is a very large Mastiff and has been dealing with surgeries and weakness in her legs, and we truly could not have gotten this far without it.

The handles and support straps give us a safe way to help her stand up, steady her while she walks, and support her when she goes outside to potty so she doesn’t fall. With a dog her size, there is simply no way we could lift or support her safely without something like this.

We have used this harness every single day throughout her recovery, and it has become one of the most crucial pieces of equipment we have. It gives Barbie support while still allowing her to move, and it gives us much better control and confidence when helping her.

If you have a large or giant-breed dog who is recovering from surgery, elderly, weak, or having trouble walking, I cannot recommend this harness enough. For our family, it wasn’t just convenient — we genuinely needed it.

Five stars from Barbie and her very grateful family. ❤️

Makes life easier!

Lexie, our golden doodle, jumped out of our car as usual but this time she tore ligiments in her fron leg and had to have a vets help. We had to carry her up our steps and to put her in or out of our SUV. She weighs 65 lbs and I'm 75 so it was almost impossible. A Google search found your company and this miracle harness. Now I, with my wife's help on the rear end, can lift Lexie into the back of the SUV and she doesn't mind it. She is 9 years old and the vet says she is getting bad hips also so the harness will be used for the rest of her life. Thanks for the quick service and a terrific well made product!!

My boy appreciates you all

Hi!

My almost 9year old Great Dane, Jude, has felt more comfortable to move around my house and open areas now that he has his harness. He has allowed me to help him more when his hips decide to get tired on him, so I am very appreciative to your form of harness.

We are so grateful to have found Help 'Em Up Harnesses!

It was honestly just sheer luck that I stumbled upon Help 'Em Up Harnesses online just days prior to our sweet pup's TPLO surgery for a torn ACL. I was so eager to get the harness that I sped through the ordering process forgetting to expedite the shipping so that we'd have the harness ready to use the day after Fletcher's surgery. I reached out via email to ask Help 'Em Up's customer service team for assistance and they immediately got back to me. They helped expedite the shipping and we received our harness and shoulder strap EXACTLY when we needed it! And it has been a LIFE SAVER!!! It's SO easy to use! And the medium harness fit our 70lb. Labradoodle PERFECTLY!!! We have been using it for 13 days straight and I don't know how we could have managed post-surgery without it. We thank you with our whole hearts for making such a quality harness that we know will last for the rest of Fletcher's sweet life. 5-Stars for both quality and customer service. Thank you SO VERY MUCH!!!

LIFESAVER after TPOS knee surgery

Our beloved Bella (30#) got stepped on by her big brother Chewbacca (60#) and tore her cruciate ligament. At 10 years old, she's still got a lot of little dog life ahead of her, so we made the tough decision to get her TPOS knee surgery.

For such an active dog with a deep love of couches and beds, being on jumping restriction for 12 weeks is a nightmare. For her human parents, it's a nightmare to carry her up and down our stairs each time she needs to go outside.

This harness and leash SAVED US during this very difficult time.

The harness is 100% worth the price. Super high quality, optimally designed to not get in the way or get dirty at potty times.

I was so worried she would hate it and think it's uncomfortable, but there are padded coverings over most of the straps.

I was also worried it would stretch or re-size as she slept and moved, but it's staying put 7 days in.

Great for entering the RV

I got this device for helping my 60 pound 14-year-old dog into and out of our RV. It is an older RV and the steps are not great. What a breeze getting him in and out now! And I used it for a quick trip to the vet in my car and it worked great for that too. The only drawback is that he was moaning and grunting when lying down in the back seat of the car with the harness on. So I need to adjust the rear part of the harness better. But otherwise, it's a great device and well worth the cost.

Four-paw drive is BACK! Sorta

Skittle ruptured his ACL & can’t get up on his own. His harness has been GREAT! So much easier (for both of us) to get him up and help him out on our rambles. Also a great way to help him down the hills (his back end gets away from him a little bit) and up the few steps into the house. Thanks for a great product and giving us back some quality of life.

So helpful

My dog had his ACL repaired. His surgeon suggested I buy this. Im so glad she did. He weighs 120 lbs. I coukd not help him get up with the harness thingy they guve you at the vets. This was a total game changer. I can help him get up easily. Getting him in the car is easier but I still need some help cause I can't lift him like that. Now as he's walking himself but weak still because his other leg needs repaired,He collapses sometimes so when he needs my help I can just use the back harness to keep him standing. I highly recommend the helpem' up harness. if you have a big dog with leg issues, Hip problems or hip displacia or just had surgery and needs a bit of help. This Totally saved my back. Its totally worth the money and yea I kniw its expensive but nothing compared to the cost of the surgery. If Your on the fence about buying it. don't be, if your looking at this you need it.

TPLO surgery

Our goldendoodle had to have TPLO surgery. My husband travels a lot. The help em up harness helped me tremendously with our dogs recovery.

This has changed my dogs life.

I cannot begin to express the amount of gratitude I feel for the HelpEmUp team. This harness has given my dog the ability to come upstairs and downstairs safely, ability to sleep upstairs with me in my bedroom like we have been doing for the last 12 years, and safely get into vehicles. She actually enjoys it, too. She will wait patiently at the top of the stairs while mom gets her harness. I noticed her confidence with the steps has actually grown, and now she can occasionally do them herself. I think the harness has helped her use the weak muscles and ultimately helped strengthen them. Just an absolute brilliant product. I would buy this 10 times over. I’m not a paid review nor did I receive this product for free - it’s just that good.

This lift has extended his life

My beautiful black lab has been living with degenerative myelitis. Previous to that he tore both of his ACL's when he was 3 years. My best buddy has been doomed from the start. I wish so much I would have known about this 5 years ago. His days are numbered. I will have FREE harness available in a few months
