Enabled my dog to walk and due his duty and saved my back
For us this was a lifesaver enabling our dog to go to the bathroom both ends without material getting saturated or soiled. The material is very soft , I suggest buying a larger size if you’re unsure therefore it won’t cut off circulation to the dog’s legs. My dog is 130 lb and we bought the extra large it’s loose due to muscle degeration, however it works perfect and supports him to learn how to walk after his total hip replacement. We useed the traditional under the belly hammock Style with handles and it was getting in the way for our male dog to urinate I had to clean it each time.We are so happy we have this new harness, it is saving our backs and I don’t need my husband’s help I can do it as one person. Than you!Also it can stay on without having to slip it under him every time.

Didn’t Fit
I really like the concept and I measured my pet before purchasing, but the harness just slides right off his behind. It won’t stay in place so I am unable to use like I want. I will use it as a lift harness when needed. I can say this will probably work for some pets but just be careful if they are older and have lost muscle mass.

Well made and very useful
15 lb dachshund had back surgeryâ¦.we bought the small/medium. This harness comfortable and very helpful. I only wish it came in a smaller size and there was a cutout for him to urinate. Maybe there is a male-female option but I did not see one here. We ended up cutting it a bit to allow for this and it helped. We tried a few other options but came back to this one. Overall, this is our pick.

Way too huge
It is exactly what I wanted, but I had purchased the medium (elsewhere) and it was too small, so I ordered the same in a large on Amazon and it is absolutely huge. Itâs almost as if there is a size missing in between. Unfortunately, I will be returning it, as much as I need something like this.

Dog support
Wash daily. It still holds the smell. Must be the plastic/rubber material. I do not recommend. Have to leave it outside.

Good product overall
The product itself is alright, but I went off of the size chart and ordered ms and it’s to big, and it cover his privates. Definitely should’ve sized down, however the cut itself isn’t enough to allow them to pee.My has swelling in his lower spine resulting in (hopefully temporary) paralysis. So this still helps with therapy inside but he can’t use it for going to the bathroom like we hoped.Overall, it’s easy to use, looks very well and comfortable. Light weight and good value for money

Helped my sick Klee Kai
My Klee Kai (25lbs), needed help getting around due to steroids killing her muscles during treatment. This really helped her keep some strength and is great now that sheâs on the mend to keep her moving without overdoing it. Pretty easy to use and once she got used to it, it seemed quite comfortable for her. Glad I got this during her illness/recovery.

Game Changer
This harness works great for my elderly dog with arthritis. We had been using a sling, but this works a lot better for her. Her weight is more evenly distributed, and she can walk easier with this harness. I also like that it isn’t putting pressure on her bladder. I wish we had tried this sooner!

I used this product to help construct a kitty walker for a pet that needed an aid.It was perfect. It was soft and durable.Really great and will buy again if making a second one.

Retuned as it was a very poor fit. Couldn’t see how the materials justified the cost.

I have a medium size Aussie for reference 19â tall. This one is no better quality than the cheaper one and I measured her but the size didnât fit well at all. Tight on the waist and loose on the bum side. Leg holds were right fit. This harness falls off the bum almost instantly. Worst one Iâve ordered. I finally found one that is decent for cheaper that has a larger length waist for $35. Find that one! Itâs all black and you can put it on while they are standing and clip it instead of making them step into the foot circles. Itâs so much better. This one was just all in all disappointing.

The harness itself uses strong materials. But the design of it is lacking. We have a male Rottie. If we put it on him like they tell us to, he is not able to pee, as it covers up his junk. We have to flip it around then his junk is exposed and allows him to pee. But pooping is not possible as it all bunches up so bad in the back and covers is bum.

I have a 9lbs yorkie that just got a surgery on both back legs ( torn ligaments) and this harness works great. It releives the pressure on back legs while keeping the dog pretty straight. We bought a small. The dog can pee and poo with it on we flipped it the other way ( where there’s a bigger opening) so the dog wouldn’t pee on harness. Definitely recommend.
