"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!"

“I can honestly say that it is the most valuable tool I could have found – it helps me to help him do all the things that he continues to love so much – walks, rides in the car, trips to the park, socializing with the other dogs and hunting for stray balls at the tennis courts.”

Need More Support?
Our intelligently designed walking accessories can be paired with the Help 'Em Up Harness to provide additional mobility assistance and extra leverage to support your pet.
Walking Handle
A single support to either the hip-lift handle or to the front shoulder strap. Allows the handle to pivot and swivel.
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.

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

It’s great
My soon to be 14 year old can now get u the two steps onto the deck with my help and this harness makes it easy for us both

Great harness for our 165+ pound Newfoundland who is having rear leg issues. Rear handle gives him a boost when going up hills or stairs. Only drawbacks are the harness weight (not sure how the extra weight impacts his joints), and also wish there was a D ring on the sternum like our usual harness.

Our big Rottweiler loves this harness!
Our Rottie Ginger is 10 years old. She weighs 122 pounds. We tried the X-Large and large and the large fit securely but not too tight. It is so adjustable you can make every angle just right. She can do her bathroom business and the harness stays totally clean. This has been a game changer. My husband can lift her by himself with this but usually she just needs a bottom boost to get up in the car.
