Review: Good way to help your dog get around. - Easy to use.My dog was able to relieve himself without having to take it off.The harness keeps him steady as he uses his front legs.
Review: Best support for the back end of the dog! - Nice durable material, designed to fit like panties or shorts so you can lift the hind end and hips. This helps better than slings that lift from the stomach. I used it successfully with one of our dog many years ago. This is why I purposely bought this style for one of our current dogs. I was in a hurry to get this because of my dog's immediate need. So I bought two sizes after measuring her. One is too small and the other is too big and I have to use the adjustable buckles on top. It has a tendency to dangle or fall off so I have to hold onto the handles while she's walking and peeing. It's good to have on all the time if your dog is having weakness in the back end so you can lift it as she tries to get up. But in my case it would end up sliding off if she moved around on her own. Still I think this design is more comfortable for the dog when lifting the back end. You can also use it for support as your dog walks up a ramp. If you can afford it get two sizes but they say you can't return if you tried it on. Still this is a very good option.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Helps....
*by C***E on July 11, 2022*

...to lift my old arthritic dog when he is on a slippery surface. NOT an easy thing to get on him, and unless tied/strapped to his chest halter, simply falls off his backend.
