RantowAdjustable Pet Dogs Lift Support Harness Breathable Mesh Padded Sling Straps Canine Support Rehabilitation for Injuries Arthritis Weak hind Legs & Joints, Blue (M)

I needed a dog lift ASAP due to my elderly Aussie suddenly coming down with Vestibular disease aka Old Dog Disease. My dog was suddenly paralyzed from the waist down so I needed a rear lift. I was immediately grateful to not only find one that was affordable but one that was on prime as well. I followed the measurement instructions and ordered. I ordered size Large for my "Medium" breed dog because he is 1 very fluffy and 2 a little overweight. The measurement instructions said this should be the size I buy. It wasn't. The lift came the next day and I was able to loop it on his legs but not up past his thighs (where the instructions stated to measure). I could hoist him up but the lift was pulling his legs outward from his body like a frog so he could not even try to stand. I ended up carrying him. I reordered this same lift in XL and it came the very next day. The xl lift while slightly too large works perfectly. Now that I know what I'm doing let me help you because it was a bit of a learning experience. The lift is very very good quality. There is a nylon harness with padded spongey netting on the part that goes around the legs. The lift has a buckle to help snap it together once on and 2 handles, one is a short handle with a velcro handle and the other is an adjustable strap. I was hoping I could wear the strap on my shoulder like a manbag and walk with my dog but that is just not doable for me I am tall, you will see when you buy it. The harness if laid flat is shaped like aviator sunglasses. One side of the loop is straighter and the other is rounder, these connect with one plastic buckle. You need to put the harness on the dog so the rounded loop goes around the dog's butt and the straight end is towards the head or the harness will not snap. Just a quick once over will show you how to orient the harness. Since I bought a slightly larger harness (which I recommend doing) I put it on like so, when my dog is laying on his side I put the loops over his feet, slide up n snap together, then I take the back ends of the loops and kind of pull them around his butt oriented on either side of the tail, If you are standing behind your dog looking at the tail end, the harness should show 2 parallel vertical lines, one on each side of the tail, or the lift will not lift up, but pull the legs out. Think |*| just like that. When my dog is standing if I need to put it on I just plop it on the floor, have him step into place and lift up his body and snap. Once you get the hang of it is is very simple. I left the harness on my dog as he was immobile and this style allows for full exposure for bathroom breaks. Actually lifting was awkward but what worked for me was to hold the straps in one hand,you can put them in the same handle, and I grabbed the 2 loops in the other hand right above the tail to hold them in position. I wish there was a bracket here or elastic to allow them to stay oriented straight, otherwise they slip down a little and end up pulling the legs outward instead of lifting up. A small inconvenience for a much needed device. All in all this lift harness was a godsend and got me through a very hard time for my dog. My dog is about 95% better and I keep the harness handy since he is a little wobbly. This was the best purchase I could've made given the need, the time frame, and the price. I am very very grateful. Long story short: Buy this harness, but you might want to buy the next size up.

My dog was given cephalexin (k flex) by the vet and was subsequently paralyzed in his hind quarters from it. I had to do something to allow him to go pottie otherwise he just laid in his own urine and fecees.This support allowed me to hold him up and guide him around the yard to do his business, it arrived fast and is a great help. The straps are easy to get around his hind legs and lock together although they look very uncomfortable he did not complain so he can't feel it. My dog was over 100lbs (80 a week after being paralyzed) the straps held well.Cephalexin is known to paralyze large dogs yet veterinarians still prescribe it without a thought, almost like they are incentivized somehow. When a dog gets paralyzed veterinarians act unaware of the common side effects and claim it was something else, the web is full of cases of paralysis caused by cephalexin on dogs. The paralysis is usually permanent and leads to a pet's death as in my case.Never let a veterinarian give your animals cephalexin out of ignorance, other antibiotics work just as well without the risk such as ampicillin, amoxicillin and more.I like the product and recommend it if your furbabie is in a similar situation as mine.

I bought a size small for my 11 pound chihuahua but it is made for larger dogs. First the strapes are too wide for a small dogs legs, you cant adjust the size enough to fit a small dog. Nor is there enough strap to lengthen to walk along side a dog. This is made to lift a dog up onto or into something. And I needed something to support my dog as he walked and went to the bathroom.

I wish I could review this better . We bought this for our 16 year old lad mix when he could barely walk anymore due to degenerative nerve and muscle issues. Unfortunately he declined rapidly and were didn't get to use it on him for more than a couple of weeks. During that time it worked as well ad I could hope. If he were heavier though I could see it being tedious for the user to hold. He was about 40 lbs at the end. We donated it to a shelter and hope someone else can use it to give their dog a little better life.

So, I purchased this for my dachshund. He is 9 years old and is thin at 16lbs. He has disc disease and thought this might be easier than the sling for outside potty trips. His back legs went out on him a couple weeks ago and potty trips with the sling are ok, but the sling gets peed on, so thought a harness would be better. This rear harness looks comfortable, doesnt look like it would rub on the hips. However, even the small is just much too large for his back legs, the straps are too wide for his legs, almost makes them flare out. A larger legged dog might work better. Quality seams and such. Just not for a small dog. No under support, just hips.

I was very satisfied with this product. I have an 11 year old boxer who has trouble waking and this have him the confidence he needed. It provides the right amount of assistance to his hind legs.

My chow mix was struggling getting up and unfortunately continued to progress. This lift support was outstanding and extremely helpful to give him quality while assisting him to the yard to use the bathroom. It was comfortable to use and we didn't hurt him getting up. I would recommend this.

I’m able to lift my dog to assist him in walking so he can relieve himself without peeing on the lift. My dog’s legs can no longer support himself and this product helps so much. It’s a bit more time to to get on him but saves me from almost daily washing of the other lifts I have purchased and this one is the cheapest by far.

I'm really pleased with this harness and I'm glad I went for it, despite the negative reviews about it being difficult to put on.Once I figured out how it went on (it took a while!!), it became very quick and easy to put on and it has made the world of difference to my old dog. He can walk again now without falling!Here's how I do it:I put the harness on while he is lying down with his legs either side.I clip the buckle together and make sure it is facing the right way (buckle side facing the dog) and the straps are out of the way, behind the dog.then I unbuckle it and carefully put his legs in each loop one at time, and lift them up his legs, making sure they are over his knees and still facing the right way (so the buckle and main strap support is still first and not the back straps).Then I fasten it above his tail and tighten it until its snug, but I can still fit two fingers under the buckle.The main buckle strap lifts from above the tail where it fastens, and the supporting straps lift from the tops of his legs at the back.It just didn't work for us trying to get him to stand while I lifted the loops up his legs.Best advice is to lengthen all the straps before trying to put it on and make sure all straps are even and gathered under the velcro strap. I'm quite tall and on their longest extension, I still have to bend a little to walk him. I wish the straps went a little longer.

I couldn't for the life of me work out how to fit this on my elderly cavalier and she became stressed with me keep trying. In the end having got it to look like the photo of the lab, she then couldn't walk because her legs just splayed open! I have returned this item for refund and suggest the supplier provide some 'how to fit' instructions with the product.

This item is intended for dogs with hind end weakness BUT the dog must be able to stand on each hind leg independently in order to put it on! Causes great distress to a dog which is already unstable. Also comes as a pile of straps with no instructions! Returned.

no instructions and considering its for a dog in bad discomfort its really thoughtless not to have detailed instructions how to fit and use this item with as little discomfort as possible if it was for a human there would

fitted my border cross terrier perfect and helped her a lot to ease the last few months of her long life nearly 16 years
