Pro Full-Body Dog Lifting Harness – Supportive Dog No-Pull Harness for Large Dogs for Rehabilitation, Arthritis, and Paralysis (Large)

Plan Ahead!
I have accomplished a good number of difficult tasks in my long life but for something as seemingly easy as putting a harness on a dog, this was a doozy! Fortunately I have the most patient dog in the world (and some good cheese).The harness seems very well made. I expect it will be very durable. Your experience in using it will no doubt be different than mine because I didn’t get this for mobility issues (at least not the dog’s mobility). I’m an 83 pound woman with a 40 pound poodle trying to find a way to restrain her for grooming. I thought this harness would give me enough points of contact to secure her in a doorway/hall area where I could access her head, face, tail, feet & sanitary area from floor level because lifting her is out of the question.Don’t wait until you are ready to use it before getting it set up and adjusted. It took me an hour to accomplish this. I’ve used many different harnesses on many dogs but have never used a full body one before. Some better pictures in the description page would be a big help. The package it arrived in had no pictures or instructions so what you get from the description page pictures & video is what there is.There are 7 adjustable straps and nine buckles & hooks not counting the handle. I was cautious not to detach too many parts at once lest I completely confuse all of them (though there is a good diagram for that). Once I was clear on how everything went together I started with the harness front. As is often the case making one adjustment throws another out of kilter and so it went until everything was connected and adjusted. The chest support and hip sleeves fell off at every adjustment so we just left them off, with a little looser adjustment until we were done and then replaced them. It will still need a little tweaking but for the most part I think we’ve accomplished our task.While this was a much bigger job than I expected I think it is well worth doing since it will only have to be done once with maybe occasional adjustments. To my surprise, after all of this, Archie really likes it. She didn’t want to take it off and when I opened the bag again to look at one of the parts she came over all ready to “get dressed” again.I’ve posted pictures of her in the harness but without the handle.

I got this for my beagle to help get him in the car after we go on our walk. The device comes in a clear plastic bag and ZERO instructions. What you see is what you get. For the life of me, I could not figure out how to put this on him. He’s only 2 years old, so anytime I’m on the floor with him, he thinks it’s playtime. So that was a challenge. I even watched 2 videos on how to put this on him. It’s either too large, I ordered the wrong size (although I did use their size guide) or I have it on incorrectly. Everything seems to be extremely well made with solid parts and buckles and clasps. Lots of padding for comfort for my dog and a very comfortable handle to lift him up. I just need help getting him into this. I’m a bit frustrated so I’m sure it’s user error. I don’t understand why a company would make such a fantastic product and then send it out without ANY kind of instruction manual to help us get this to work for our pet? This seems like it’s an incredibly high quality product. I REALLY wish they would have sent anything to help me put it on him. He’s can pull his legs right out so I’m not really sure what I’m doing wrong. I’m definitely not sending this back because it’s very good quality. When I have someone come over, they’re going to get nominated to help me put this on him. I’m really excited about using it so I might need to invite someone over soon. If I can get it on him, I’ll be sure to edit my review.
