The sling may help you lift and steady a dog affected by paralysis, hind-leg weakness, arthritis, hip dysplasia, age-related loss of mobility, or recovery after surgery.
Support under the belly helps you assist your dog more steadily when rising from a lying or seated position.
It helps you support some of your dog’s weight during daily walks and short bathroom breaks.
It helps you guide a dog with weak hind legs more steadily when going up or down stairs.
The handle length and lifting angle can be adjusted to suit your height and your dog’s needs.
The padded neoprene surface helps distribute pressure more evenly across the belly during lifting.
Neoprene and reinforced nylon provide a water-resistant, hand-washable construction suited to daily use.
The support does not replace a veterinary examination or treatment. A veterinarian should advise whether it is suitable, how much weight to support, and how long to use it.
Getting used to the brace videoMake sure you have the right size before use. Lift slowly and steadily; do not suddenly transfer your dog’s full weight to the handles.
Place the supportive section of the sling beneath your dog’s belly.
Raise both lifting straps evenly.
Join and secure the handle with its hook-and-loop fastening.
Adjust the strap height so your dog can stand steadily and you can provide support comfortably.
Support your dog’s weight evenly, and do not drag the sling across the belly. Stop using it if you notice a change in breathing, pain, slipping, or marked discomfort.
Introduce the sling in a calm setting. During the first use, check the position under the belly and whether the handles are balanced. Use it only while physically assisting your dog, and remove it when the assistance is finished. Follow your veterinarian’s advice on the type and duration of activity.
Remove the sling once assistance is finished; do not leave it on your dog during rest or sleep.
The sling helps you support some of your dog’s weight. An assisted walking harness provides compression around the hips and aims to support the dog’s own movement.
The sling helps you physically assist your dog when standing up or moving. A drag bag protects the body and hind legs from friction while the animal moves along the ground.
This product is designed to help you support part of your dog’s weight. If your dog needs to be lifted completely off the ground, do not assume this sling alone is sufficient. Ask your veterinarian about an appropriate lifting method and equipment.
Choose the size based on belly and body measurements rather than weight alone. Also consider whether the person assisting the dog can safely support part of its weight.
Not always. The product mainly supports the rear of the body. If the front legs are also seriously weak, a more comprehensive lifting system or a second person may be needed.
It depends on the dog’s weight, remaining mobility, and the person’s physical strength. Ask a second person to help if there is a risk of losing control.
