LOOBANI Portable Dog Sling for Back Legs, Hip Support Harness to Help Lift Rear for Canine Aid Old K9 Cruciate Ligament Rehabilitation

This truly made my dogs life better. My senior shepherd mix started to have trouble with her hind legs and within days, couldn't stand up on her own. She was a large dog so as you can imagine, her and I had a rough time figuring out how to help her up. She was happy and healthy but those back legs and hips were tired, weak, and becoming more painful.It drove her nuts that she couldn't get herself up whenever she wanted and it drove me nuts that it was such a struggle to help her up. I decided to look in to something to just give her and myself some help. I'm glad I came across this one.It arrived quickly which we definitely needed. It was pretty much ready to go as soon as opening and was straightforward. The stitching all looked perfect and well done. The inside material was one of the things I liked most. It was soft and added to the comfortability. There was no strong smell to it. The straps were attached really well and I'm still shocked they held up.I used this multiple times a day, everyday for a year. It never ripped, frayed, or anything. I cleaned it and it was like new. At times, it held a large part of my dogs weight, she was over 150+ lbs. Just the quality alone was worth the price. My dog never had irritation or showed discomfort with use.I have nothing but good to say, it was a big help for us. The fact it helped me help my dog, is priceless. She was able to go for walks, go potty outside, stretch her legs, and enjoy herself. It kept my back pain at a minimum and I enjoyed the time spent helping my girl.I highly recommend this if you are looking for a lift aid. Do keep in mind if you have a large dog, you will still strain but it will help immensely. Good luck with your pups.

My dog is a big 90-pound Pyr/Shepherd mix, and has arthritic hips and lower back. I have tweaked my own back trying to help him up our front steps, and on our walks, once he tires out (which is pretty quickly), his back legs give out and he ends up sitting and not able to stand up.This sling has helped so much! The size large is plenty big enough, and he got used to it pretty quickly. I’m tall (5’ 10”), and the straps are plenty long enough. I carry it with me when we are walking, and put it on as we are coming home and he’s done pottying. Just having the support helps him not collapse. Getting up the steps is super easy now - he is able to do most of the work while I provide the stability for his back legs.We practiced with it first in the house with treats and that seemed to help him get used to it. At first, he’d freeze like a statue if I put any tension on it, and I found I can’t “herd” him with it, but with the sling in my right hand and the leash in my left, I can use the leash to gently pull and he unfreezes. It took no time at all to get that process working well. It’s wide though and covers up his pieces parts, so I don’t use it through the entire walk or he would pee on it. It’s easy enough to slide it on and off though as needed - I just don’t need that level of assistance yet. He does have issues sometimes pooping and sitting down suddenly, so I am thinking we will try using the sling if we need to do that. It should be fine ergonomically if it comes to that.He also has a hard time on damp days getting up from lying on the hardwood floor (which he stubbornly insists upon doing in spite of rugs and his bed), and this helps me get him standing easily.The sling is sturdy - the straps are sewn on very well, and the sherpa lining is very soft. I haven’t had to wash it yet, but imagine that it will be easy to throw it in the washing machine with no problem.I am super grateful to have found this. I was at my breaking point with his back legs collapsing and the injuries I was sustaining getting him up the steps. We were having so many problems, I was fighting off deep fear for how to continue to care for him. Having the sling to help him with his walks also helps him the rest of the time, because he hasn’t had to overwork himself. It has certainly changed the dynamic of his care,This is a wonderful product and I highly recommend it!

Our dog's back end was deteriorating and would not be improving. When he reached a point where he could no longer go down the few steps at the back porch, this sling was very helpful. The sling is well and thickly lined. The entire construction of it is sturdy and comfortable. It made helping him down the stairs, even going for walks simple. At this point he was wearing a wrap (male dog diaper), so we did not have to worry about him peeing while wearing it. It did take some care to line up the wrap and the sling ;) He very much enjoyed it. It was easy to throw in the washing machine. I left it out to air dry. It appeared as new; no indication of wear or difference in appearance as a result of being used or washed.

This product helps elderly dogs or pets that need help with their back legs. It could be used for surgery recovery or it could be used in exchange for a wheelchair. If your pet is afraid of wheels, this harness is nice and handy. This harness helps owners half carry their pet around the yard or up the stairs. It is especially helpful up the stairs but slips down the stairs. Also if your pet likes to pull, it does slip out from under their belly. It's durable enough and the size is good for a large dog. I am using it for a lab and it fits well. In terms of safety, I would say it's helpful for weak dogs but wouldn't consider it overall safe. 4 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Works great! So much easier than a towel.

My older doodle started to have weak legs due to a neurological issue, and this has been a life saver! I use it to help him walk up and down the stairs and we take it on walks just in case he needs it. It's so well made and has a nice soft fabric for his belly. I like that the straps are adjustable so it's easier on my back. I would definitely recommend this if your dog needs a little help getting around.

Not best for a bulldog, due to her body structure. Better for a taller less round dog.

Just got it and used immediately. It was everything I needed and saved my back! We have a pug who is losing the use of her back legs. I was rolling a beach towel and putting under her but I know it wasn't comfortable. This brace is soft and perfect.
