Solvit Dog Lifting Aid Mobility Harness (Black, Large, Pack of 1)

High quality product. Bigger dog breeds can benefit from it as the grips are soft and the lifting handles and belt are appropriately designed. Just wasn't suited for my guy.

Its a wonderful product with fantastic build quality. Ideal for large breeds. Good things are never cheap..

I MUST SHARE MY EXPERIENCE REGARDING THE UTILITY OF THIS PRODUCT.1 . REDUCES STRAIN WHILE LIFTING A GSD.2. THE DOG ALSO IS AT EASE3. THE WT OF THE DOG IS WELL BALANCED4. THE CONCEPT OF URINATION NEEDS TO BE REVISITED. A SIMPLE HARD PLASTIC WITH PADDING OF APPROX 6 INCHES CAN BE GIVEN FOR BETTER SUPPORT TO THE SOFT ABDOMEN OF THE DOG.I THINK THAT'S ENOUGHTHE PRODUCT IS WORTH FOR ITS COST

Not ok

Awesome

Got this for my 13 year old retriever. It's a perfect fit and helps in climbing stairs and while picking him up. It's very good, really happy for buying it

Good quality harness

I mostly wanted it for the rear portion to help my dog get up and down stairs. At 95 lbs I can’t lift her up by myself (only down) but with both harnesses two people can get her up the stairs. She doesn’t love it but it’s very useful and good for the price (I bought used.) Don’t use the shoulder strap, probably would injure both of us if I did but this is a very good product. Use the butt harness several times a day now. Great positioning on the handle, easy to adjust, sturdy construction.

Mi fila brasilero de 8 meses tiene displasia en las cuatro patas y la acaban de operar de las 2 delanteras Y la verdad es que no podría ayudarla a ir al jardín para que haga del baño sin esto. Excelente calidad los súper recomiendo. Ojo no vayan a pedir el tamaño grande sin medir cuidadosamente porque yo lo tuve que cambiar por el mediano.

I have a110 lb Great Pyrenees/ Shepard mix. He has a torn hind led CCL and will have TPOL surgery soon. Unfortunately this surgery isn't something you just quickly schedule right after diagnosis. So 4-6 weeks of a weighty dog not being able to use his hind legs. I bought both a sling and a harness, I think you really should consider both because your dog will go through phases of being able to walk assisted (Use the harness) and not being able to walk at all (Use the sling). The Vet will ask you to keep your dog mostly immobile for the 4-6 weeks before surgery to not further injure the knee. You will see your dog walking but doing so in a manner we call the toe tap or they will be sitting on the good leg and dragging themselves self short distances. It's a sad sight. The risk is not only to the hurt leg, but hurting the remaining good leg as well. Keep you vet informed and they will prescribe in our case anti-inflammatory and pain medication. We also use some tryptophan treats for anxiety. Trust me your dog will be very stressed from pain and immobility.In his first week after his tear he couldn't walk at all. At 110 pounds, you can pick him up with this, it has a shoulder strap but based on the contact weight distribution points (Straps under each leg) doesn't appear as comfortable to my dog as the sling did. The sling I have has a sturdier dual shoulder strap and the sling covers him from his chest to his backside. It also has handles on the sides and not the top like this harness. The weight is distributed across his entire under body and with the straps and handles on the side you pick him up across his ribs and midsection. (That's the major difference, a sling has a greater area of weight distribution vs the harness which only has the 4 leg points) For a dog that can't walk in my opinion it's the easiest way to pick up and carry a dog. In addition, the sling has dual side straps two people can share the load, a strap for each persons shoulder.But lets get back to the mobility harness. I keep my dog with me in my small office on a blanket which he happily stays on most of the day to keep his mobility to a minimum. When my dog was relaxed I introduced the harness and sling. This harness is great and I started with the top part only and just let him wear it for 20 minutes several time throughout the day. He thinks of it like a collar. You can assemble the entire back section and treat it like a single unit. With the top part on it's a quick and easy clasp to the 2 parts together so it hands off your dogs back. Slip the abdominal strap in place and then slide the 2 back legs straps under and connect. The hardest part is the 2 leg straps, but that's only because your dog may not be able to stand up so you have to kind of slide them under to attach. The whole thing takes me less than a minute. Because I can get it on and off quickly, I don't have my dog wear it for any extended period of time. I do however still put the top part on him for random 20 minute periods just to keep him used to it. My goal is to have him used to this because after the TPLO surgery it's going to be weeks of rehab and need for assisted walkingThe first 2 days he didn't like bottom part. But once he realized with my help he could get out of the office, he's adjusted to it. You still need to watch your dog to make sure he doesn't over do it, I don't even with the harness let him go more than 20 feet before I make him rest again. Though I admit he snuck off a few times when I left him resting in the harness. So I know he's capable of toe tap walking right now, but you don't want to risk further injury.Once your dog is on this, you lift slowly from his back, while holding the front. The front hand guides, the back had lifts and provides support. At first my dog would not use his back legs and did a funny wheelbarrow race walk. Then after day 1 realized he could put weight on his back legs with the support. Don't over do it, 20 feet at a time or less seems to work well for us. My wife is 5'1 and weighs about the same as the dog, and she can lift and guide him with this harness and walk him short distances. The configuration stays in place, it's well designed for mobility assist, and has enough flexibility to be taut when you're assisting the dog and relaxed when your dog may be lounging for a few minutes in the harness. I see no issues with chaffing of discomfort while assisting in walking. Acclimate the Dog to the harness and he'll treat it just like a collar or putting on a leash for a walk.Regarding the harness strap. Yes it works. It's a one person strap as opposed to the sling which can be used with 2 people. I don't like the weight distribution of this harness when used as a sling because of the points of contact are all joints versus the entire dog under frame. It will work, and if you have to carry the dog a short distance it's a good solution. But for a BIG dog, it can't be comfortable for a dog for any longer periods used this way.All the best to you and your dogs! hope this helps a little.

Die Zeit der Krankheit war für Herrchen und Hund sehr anstrengend. Unser Goldie konnte nicht mehr laufen und wir mußten ihn über mehrere Wochen unterstützen. Als es langsam besser wurde haben wir nur noch einen Teil des Geschirrs als Gehhilfe genutzt. Heute läuft er wieder fast normal. Das Geschirr war eine große Hilfe zur Mobilisierung. Gut gepolstert. Abwaschbar. Empfehlenswert, weil auch der Preis stimmt. Auch für noch größere Hunde geeignet.
