Dog Lift Harnesses
Dogs who have physical ailments such as knee hip or back injuries will need a little extra assistance getting around. This is also the case for aging dogs who develop conditions like arthritis or have degenerative diseases. These dogs will need help getting around the house, going to an outdoors potty area, and getting up and down the stairs. Thus, they could benefit greatly from a dog support harness or dog ramps. These dog harnesses allow a dog's owner a quick and easy way to provide everyday assistance to their pets. Dog support harnesses typically fit around a dog's belly near the hips, and they have handles that help you stabilize and lift your pet.
Chewy offers a variety of dog support harnesses designed to offer your four-legged friend the extra support that he may need. These products come in a variety of sizes and are designed for specific functions. They can provide assistance with a front or rear leg injury, allow you to give an injured pup a quick boost, or help you stabilize your dog while transporting him. The GingerLead Support and Rehabilitation tall breed male dog lifting harness, for instance, is recommended by veterinarians and used in animal clinics as a means of assisting tall, lean dogs such as Greyhounds who have weak hind legs. There are also harnesses on the market that can be temporarily used to help a dog who is recovering from an injury or surgery. The Outward Hound PupBoost lift harness has a wide closure that secures around a dog's belly, and it includes a handle on the top for helping dogs in and out of the car or up or down a flight of stairs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dog Lift Harnesses
What are dog lift harnesses?
Dog lift harnesses are harnesses with a handle on the back that let you lift your dog for added support. Also known as dog support slings, dog support harnesses or dog mobility harnesses, they are used for canines whose mobility is limited by injury, disability or age. Lift harnesses for canines allow you to lift the weight off your dog's legs, hips or spine as he walks, and they can minimize or delay the need for a dog wheelchair. Dog lift harnesses can be used to help dogs with impairments take walks, use the potty and to help them up stairs and into cars.
What is the difference between a dog lift harness and a dog sling?
A dog lift harness and a dog sling are the same thing, although the term "dog sling" is also used to refer to a carrying bag for small dogs. Dog lift harnesses, also known as dog slings, support slings or mobility harnesses, are used to provide additional support to dogs with mobility impairments.
What are the best types of dog lift harnesses?
The best types of dog lift harnesses have a sturdy design and comfortable, ergonomic handles. Breathable materials will make the harness more comfortable for your dog and good fasteners will make it easier to get on and off. You can find ones that offer full body lifting or ones with just rear body support for dogs with hind leg issues.
How do you use a dog lift harness?
Use a dog lift harness by gently pulling up on the handle to take some of the weight off your dog's legs, hips or spine. This method can be helpful on walks with mobility-challenged dogs or to support handicapped dogs during difficult maneuvers like squatting to potty. You can also use a dog lift harness to fully lift your dog into cars, upstairs and elsewhere.
