They still want to be right by your side
When your dog's back legs aren't as strong as they used to be, a little help goes a long way. The Dog Rear Support Sling slips under the belly just in front of the back legs, so you can gently lift and steady their back end on walks, stairs, potty breaks and car rides, and they keep doing the things they love with you.
- A steady hand on slow neighborhood walks
- A gentle lift up the porch steps
- Help in and out of the car
A wide sling that spreads the lift
The wide, soft sling spreads the load across your dog's body instead of digging into one spot, which keeps each lift comfortable for them. An extra-long handle lets you steady a medium dog up the steps or support a large breed on a slow walk, while your dog still does the walking.
- Spreads the load, no digging into one spot
- Extra-long handle for steady lifts
- For medium dogs and large breeds
Light enough to keep by the door
Unlike a folded towel, it comes sized to your dog. It's lightweight and quick to put on and take off, so it's easy to keep by the door for whenever your dog needs a boost. Choose from four sizes, S through XL, by measuring the waist just in front of the back legs and around the thigh.
- Lightweight and quick to put on
- Ready by the door for every outing
- Four sizes, S through XL
