Highlighted Reviews

— Martha 1 found helpful

"Our 12 year old Collie girl is 75 lbs & arthritic. This is incredibly helpful in getting her up & saving our backs. Another plus is that she seems to have more confidence with the harness on, much like a thunder vest. When I remove it to groom her, she wants it back on."

Bottom Line

A fantastic aid for pet owners dealing with pets' mobility issues. Highly recommended for large, elderly, or mobility-challenged dogs, despite minor sizing challenges.
