Description

Who is it for?
Large-breed senior dogs losing strength in their hips or rear legs, dogs recovering from surgery or injury, and dogs with mobility challenges who need a steady assist on walks. The Large size is designed to fit most large breeds comfortably around the abdomen and hindquarters.
Feeding & use
Wrap the padded belt under your dog's abdomen or rear hips and fasten the adjustable straps snugly — not tight. Hold the handles at a comfortable height so your dog's paws still reach the ground, and use your legs, not your back, to share the load.
The strap suits short walks, stair climbs, ramp transitions, and getting in and out of the car. Introduce it gradually so your dog gets used to the feel before longer outings.
