Large Conventional Harness

My 11 year old shepherd broke his leg. He was already having difficulty getting up. This harness was extremely helpful in moving him around. I’m so glad I found this.

Baby was recently diagnosed with Degenerate Myloepathy. She weighs about 65 pounds so it was apparent we would be needing something to help her on her journey with this disease. Our family is extremely active so Baby walks a mile everyday. She hikes and plays ball. However we have two flights of stairs to take her to our backyard. She has issues in keeping her balance going down the stairs. What a life saver these harnesses are. The most important thing is it works and she likes it! We know she will progressively get worse. However we now have the tool to help her during the time she has left with us. Thank you for giving us the tool to help our Baby enjoy the rest of her life!

This is such a gift from above. Thank you to everyone who poured hours of creativity into this design. My 205lb Newfoundland didn’t fit in any harness and at 10 he can’t get up on his won anymore but he’s nowhere near the end. I’m only 5’4 so helping him up was destroying my back. Now it’s a BREEEEEEEZE!! Literally as easy as something could be. Thank you, thank you, thank you. If you are reading this and know ANYONE with an elderly dog please share this product with them. It’s changed our lives (and my doggo’s fate).

Game changer!

This is an updated review ... for us, it's important to share that at first because of the way our adored 15-1/2 year old dog is shaped and the physical issues he has, even watching videos, studying the instructions, and using my flexible seamstress tape measure to measure precisely both our dog and the straps, it proved difficult and took a few days of observation and readjusting to get the fit just right. Also, because his issues make moving in certain ways very uncomfortable for him, we had difficulty figuring out how and where to actually put it on him, which took a few days more. For those reading this who may have a similar situation, we finally cut two straps as suggested in the instructions so that everything fit just right and nothing was "hanging.",We also discovered that he was very comfortable when we put it on him in an open area pretty much in the same way I used to saddle my horse, meaning to lay the "tack" ... brace parts of course in this case ... on him and then secure the straps. He has mobility issues and falls, so we have area rugs pretty much everywhere in our home right now (see picture). We've found it is very easy to help him up securely and hold him "just right" while he securely re-positions his own feet evenly now when he falls. It is also much easier to help him up into the SUV. FYI before this brace, to get him up, we were using a chest brace and a strong loin scarf but that of course couldn't stay on him. When our vet saw what we had worked out, she suggested this brace and I ordered it immediately. Kudos to the company for the overnight shipping, which happened flawlessly. More kudos to the company for the design of the brace, how it supports via muscles and not joints is perfect, and also some of the pressure points on the brace at least the way we've ultimately fit it on him, align with strategic acupressure points, and that is a strong plus. Also perfect is where the strap padding is. We like the color, too, and that parts of the brace glow at night. We bought the smaller size, as the website suggests, and that ended up being perfect advice.
