Dog Lifting Harness, Support Sling for Seniors

A padded band under the hindquarters with straps that run forward over your shoulder and the dog's back. You take part of the weight; the dog keeps walking on its own four feet.

For dogs after surgery, with arthritis, or just getting old. Black, in M, L and XL.

What's in it: band, trim, straps

The band

Wide and padded, so the weight spreads instead of pinching.

The trim

Reflective stitching along the straps for evening walks.

The straps

Adjustable, and they clip rather than tie.

Three sizes

Sizing: three sizes

The band sits under the hips, not across the belly — a sling that rides forward takes the weight in the wrong place and makes the dog sag rather than straighten.

01 / PLACE

Under the hips

Not the belly; the hind legs take the rest.

02 / ADJUST

Both straps even

So the band stays level as the dog walks.

03 / CHECK

No gap

A leg should not be able to catch under the band.

Before you order

Good to know.

How long does shipping take?

Orders leave our warehouse within 1–2 business days. US and EU delivery usually takes 7–12 business days, and tracking is emailed as soon as the parcel scans.

Will I have to pay customs or import duties?

No. Shipping already includes duties and import taxes, so the price at checkout is the final price. Nothing extra to pay the courier or customs when the parcel arrives.

Does it carry the dog completely?

No — it takes part of the weight while the dog still walks. A fully immobile dog needs a support harness with a handle.

Which size?

Measure round the hindquarters and check the strap reach; when in doubt, the larger size sits lower.

Can it stay on all day?

Take it off between walks; the band is not made to be worn at rest.

Full description

A support sling for a dog that needs help with its back legs - after surgery, with arthritis, or simply as it gets older. A padded band passes under the hindquarters and the straps run forward over the back, so you can take part of the weight while the dog keeps walking on its own four feet.

What you get

Padded band under the hindquarters, with straps over the back
Adjustable straps so the band sits close without pinching
Reflective trim for evening walks
Three sizes: M, L and XL, in black

Fitting it

The band sits under the hips, not across the belly - a sling that rides forward takes the weight in the wrong place and makes the dog sag rather than straighten. Adjust both straps to the same length so the band stays level, and check there is no gap between band and body where a leg could catch.

Using it

Take the weight gradually. A sling supports; it does not carry the dog, and lifting too much stops the dog using the muscles it still has. Start with a short route on level ground, and ask your vet or physiotherapist how much support is right for your dog's condition before relying on it for longer walks.

Care

Hand wash the band and air dry flat. Check the stitching where the straps meet the band after every few walks - it is the point that takes the whole load.
