DogLemi Pet Dog Support Harness, Dog Lift Harness Portable Lifting Harness Sling Strap Help Dogs with Weak Rear Legs for Surgery Injuries Elderly Dogs Recovery Walking Pain Relief…

For tall people with short arms.
I really don’t understand why they don’t take measurements of people to make things anatomically correct. The handle in the shortest position is still way too long. Unless you are 7 feet tall or have stubby arms you are going to have sore traps holding your dogs hips high enough for it to support him. I had to modify it on my sewing machine to get the right length. Also there is no tether from the harness to the dogs collar so it falls off if you don’t support it the whole time. Poor design but better than a sling. I got the XL for my 75 pound German shepherd. Was a little loose.

Very Helpful
We liked this product because it truly did what it needed to do for our dog. It helped us take our dog out for his walks after having surgery on his left hind leg since he couldn’t put weight on it. The quality of the product was great and it was comfortable for our dog. We would definitely recommend it if you are looking for something like this to help you and your fur baby.

As a Veterinarian I cannot recommend
Even as a veterinarian I have a hard time finding products that work to support dogs following ortho surgery or with neurologic defects. No one product will work for every pet or owner, however som are just unsafe to use across the board. My own 14 year old Lab has degenerating disc disease as well as a spinal infection, resulting in a weak hind end and neurological defects that effect stability. She needs support to attain proper squat position to “use the bathroom”, and to help her with stairs. I also need help to support her if she loses her balance on a walk. I was hopeful this product would work without putting excess pressure on critical areas of her spine. I liked that it was shown with a clasp to attach the handle to the dogs harness or collar hook to prevent slipping off when not in direct use. The clasp over the lower back looked sturdy and reliable. Mine arrived without the handle attachment feature! The back clasp was also different, an open X that releases easily during normal use resulting in a near catastrophic fall down my stairs where I decided to go ahead and try the device anyway. I called Amazon Customer Service and they were helpful in providing a replacement. The replacement came with the same issues, and when I rechecked the listing it no longer shows the attaching clasp, and instead shows a criss cross over the neck use of the handles when not in use. The maker calls it an advanced feature, I call it down right dangerous. As a veterinarian I MUST CAUTION on 2 issues: That criss cross use of the handles over the neck could result in excess strain on neck vertebrae or choking. If the dog loses balance and the owner were to grab quickly (which is the typical reaction) in this configuration it could lead to a catastrophic injury to the dog’s neck or spine. Especially the population of dogs that would need this item. The other issue is that the lift on this harness is against the dog’s hip joints, NOT the pelvis as would be medically sound and appropriate. Excess stress of this type on normal or compromised hip joints (as in hip dysplasia or for a dog with one amputation) will result in accelerated hip degeneration. While it looks well made and is easy to put on the dog, this is just not a medically sound piece of equipment. My search for a safe and effective hind end support for my own dog and those of my clients continues. I cannot recommend this product.

Excellent!
We have 12 yr old 80 lb male red golden. His back legs just won’t hold him anymore. We were using a towel to lift him and holding his tail as he peed and pooped. This harness has saved our backs.He isn’t bothered by it and he can easily pee and poop while wearing it. We can stand upright and support him. I bought a large and a medium (because I didn’t measure). The medium hasn’t arrived yet. We’re using the large. We’ll donate the other to a rescue orgHighly recommend this if you have a large dog and a bad back. FYI: We received the medium and it fits our dog more snug.
