Dog Lift Harness- 20-150lb Dog Sling Hind Leg Support Heavy Duty Lifter for Senior/Injured/Old Dog

Dog Lift Harness – rear support sling for senior and injured dogs (20–150 pounds)

This large dog slowly lifting aid protects the weak hind legs of large dogs, allowing them to shift safely and confidently both indoors and outdoors. Specially made for senior dogs or those with arthritis or hip dysplasia, or dogs recovering from knee or hip surgery. Great for providing stable assistance to help a dog stand, walk a few steps, climb stairs, get to the car, or go out to pee or poop, etc.

Who it helps

• Older dogs with arthritis or weakening back legs.

• Dogs with hip dysplasia or arthritis require consistent support to perform everyday tasks.

• Post-ACL/CCL or hip surgery dogs need to avoid slipping and not be loaded abruptly.

• Large dogs that one cannot pick up and move without breaking a sweat or something worse.

What it does

• Gentle on the back, helps the dog to stand and balance.

• Adds control and stops dangerous rushes on stairs.

• Assists in and out of the car with a smooth rise and reduced risk of falls.

• Quicker "potty trips" without preventing a canine from squatting.

How to use on stairs

• Stand next to the dog and hold the handle, taking some of the weight off your hips.

• Keep those back feet grounded and needed back support and steady (slow steps).
• You should use a handrail if needed and take the steps slowly and steadily.

How to use it for going to the bathroom

• Adjust the sling to fit behind the ribs, cradling the belly and hindquarters.

• Leave the strap so that your dog can squat, but not make use of it enough to block the area.
• Be gentle, but give time to sniff and see where she is placed.

Fit and comfort tips.

• Now, you'll want to ensure that you pull the sling behind the rib cage and in front of the back legs, also to prevent pressure on the ribs.

• Distribute the strap under the belly, forming a wide "hammock" to distribute the pressure evenly.
• Straighten your back, bend your knees, and lift with your legs to protect your body when picking things up.

FAQs

• When should a sling be used?
  A helping hand for a dog helping him get up, around stairs, into the car, and out to pee/poop with firm assistance.

• How much lift is right?
  Allow the back hooves to continue touching and pushing, but support some of the weight with the back end; do not eliminate with the hind end.
• Where do I place the strap?
  Positioned behind the ribs and underneath the belly, not over the rib cage, so it's a wide and secure support.
• Will it block bathroom needs?
  Indeed, a rear sling allows for what is called a clean squat when tension is low and placement is proper.

• Can this help after surgery?
  Yes, it can decrease slipage and assist with brief, secure strolls as instructed by the veterinarian or rehab staff.

• Is lifting with it any better than lifting by hand?
  Yes, it distributes pressure, reduces risk to the dog, and saves the handler's back and shoulders.
