Help 'Em Up Harness (10lbs. - 225lbs.)

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 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.

This harness has been a game changer for our 65 pds doodle. He had TPLO surgery and we live in a two story home. We can easily get him up and down the stairs , no issue!!!!

I can't say enough good things about this harness. Our 83-lb female golden retriever, Scout, struggles with osteoarthritis and geriatric onset laryngeal paralysis and polyneuropathy (GOLPP). The last couple of months her mobility has rapidly declined. I studied every harness or sling or handle I could find before choosing the Help 'Em Up Harness for our girl.

It was worth every cent! I recommend this for any senior dog, as soon as they start to show any signs of weakness. Do it before they fall and injure themselves, not after! Wow! The difference in her abilities, comfort, and safety is massive.

This is so easy to use. Even my mother with a walker and balance issues can help Scout up with one hand. Sweet Scout learned within a few days that she just has to ask us for help (a quiet bark or whine works). I come right to her and ask if she needs help and she starts to get her feet underneath her. Then I gently pull her upright, she wags her tail in thanks, and then she goes to her water bowl or whatever else she needs.

It's a simple and thoughtful solution. Scout does not mind wearing this low-profile harness at all. It is easy to fit to your dog, and not too picky when it comes to tightness. The strap connecting the front to the back needs to be a little loose when the dog is standing erect in order for them to reach the floor. It's only there to hold up the back half, so looser works just fine. I adjusted all the straps at once, and it was a quick add easy process. The unit comes connected in all the right places, so you don't have to think about how to put it together. That's a huge help even you're dealing with the stress of an aging dog's mobility problems. I only release four buckles when I take it off at night. She naps in it during the day, and I take it off at night to reduce potential matting. I try to remember brush her armpits, at least, in the morning before putting it back on. Going potty is never a problem. I just tuck her feathers to the sides of the straps when I "dress her" in the morning.

I also highly suggest grippy socks for your older dog. The combination has been perfect for us.

I can use this harness to help her up a ramp, up the stairs, up from the the floor, into the car, etc. It is so well constructed and designed! I really like the metal side loop options to attach a leash wherever is most convenient for my needs. She's always been pretty good on a leash, but it's really nice to have her leash on the side I walk her on so that I can direct her automatically my direction. The handles are just the right size to use without being bulky for my furry friend.

I'm so relieved to have this product. Thank you to customer service for responding very promptly about sizing! The suggested M size fits a pretty big golden retriever perfectly. I needn't have worried about her large chest girth.

If in doubt about your pup's size, email costumer support. They were so responsive and helpful.

Thank you for making this product!
