My rat terrier had a tumble that resulted in two torn back-knee ACLs Surgeries have to be scheduled separately. Vet recommended Holdemup, but I am a dedicated Amazon shopper. This harness was identical, about the same price, but with Prime shipping.My dog measured 23.5 inches. Small harness was 25” When it arrived, it was too small in every connected spot. I immediately ordered a medium, but unfortunately the delivery was delayed due to a mis route. Two extra nights in hospital cost $$$$.If you are borderline in measuring, order up, or order two and return one. When you need one of these things - you want it, like NOW.While it’s a process getting my dog in the harness - because he cannot use his back legs yet, the harness is very sturdy, and comfortable enough to leave it on him all day. The handles are just right for lifting him.My husband cut away a small square in the undercarriage for the dog’s penis. You will want to do this, too if yours is a male, and utility scissors will do the trick.Easy to wash - I did it in the sink and let it drip dry overnight.I hope you don’t ever need this, but if you do, I recommend it totally.

It was a wise decision, first it is as described, second it really works, because I bought it for a 15-year-old dog with mobility problems and who has lately lost strength to climb stairs added that my mother is older and has no strength to wash it, for the three of them it has been a help because we can assist her at the moment and it makes it easier for us to load her into the car; In addition, the design is suitable for hot weather and does not overheat it; The only thing that I did not like was that the belts do not come in the same size and this made it difficult to find the measure, otherwise the clips and other accessories did not require any change

Le harnais est de bonne qualité rien a redireIl est également trés pratique le seul souci le harnais n'est pas vraiment adapté au maleNous avons du coué un bout du harnais au niveau des parti ne notre chien pour que ca ne le dérange pas .Mais sinon rien a redire

UPDATE: I originally gave this a 5 star review. After using it for a bit I am reduced to 1 star. I'd give negative 5 if I could. A MAJOR FLAW in design and materials has caused a life threatening injury to my dog! First: The rear portion of this harness does not detach completely from the front. This is a double problem: The back section cannot be used separately from the front, and the rear portion cannot be put into the washer to be cleaned. No matter what rear assist harness or sling you buy, there will be some urine and fecal contamination. Even a seemingly surface irritation or abrasion can become infected by contact with the contaminated material. The entire harness needed to be cleaned almost daily to keep it at all sanitary. Second and MOST IMPORTANT: The material used for the straps that go around the dogs hind legs is too abrasive, and if your dog falls between sizes as mine does this results in too loose or. too tight fit due to limits in adjustments on both the leg straps and the strap connecting the rear section to the front. Even if well fit this material will abrade the skin along your dog's inguinal/crotch area or buttocks. I noticed a rub sore on my dog's right side buttocks after about 2 weeks. At that point I started letting the rear straps hang as loops at her side when not in use rather than attached around her legs. The sore got worse despite minimal use with the straps in place (just when lifting) the neoprene strap cover which is also too rough for skin in the area. I stopped using the harness at this point expecting what looked like "rug burn" to resolve quickly. A week later the "rub sore" opened up and is now a deep , draining, and painful fistula. As a veterinarian I have the resources to treat this. It requires bandage changes and flushing several times through the day and soaks before bed in the evening. Also some serious pain meds and antibiotics. For most pets this would be a point where most owners would decide on euthanasia. It is no small task to treat an open wound in this area and it requires constant monitoring and medical care to prevent sepsis. My dog's thigh muscles are visible through the opening in the fistula. I'm just sick that I used this on my dog who is suffering for it. This could have been a great product with better more adjustable design, and better materials more suited to the use and touch points. Measurements for fit should include the length of the dog;'s back and sternum since these are limited or not at all adjustable and effect the degree to which the rear straps can be adjusted for proper fit. The rear needs to be washable and able to be separated from the front to be washed DAILY. As it stands I must caution anybody considering to keep looking elsewhere for a solution.My own 14 year old Lab has age related disc disease complicated by an infection in her spine. This has resulted in some neurological defects and hind end weakness. I tried another harness just for hind end support that would not stay on and put a lot of stress on her back at the junction between her thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. After a lot of research I decided to give this one a try. She is on the small size for a Lab (a fit 47 lbs) so after measuring and reading lots of reviews I purchased according to the chart. I also purchased a strap as it was not clear that the harness comes with one. It does so I am returning the extra. It also comes with a good set of directions. It took me about 20 minutes of fussing to get this adjusted to my satisfaction. It's very easy to get on and off once you get use to all the clips. The multiple areas of attachment are what make this so adjustable. Proper fit is everything as incorrect support for dogs with back injury can actually make things worse. I did need to readjust the straps around the hind legs to get the proper support at the pelvis. This item is well made with sturdy clasps at every attachment point. I love the handles with the option of using a leash at either of the D rings, or using the strap included, it's giving my back a break. I can get my dog in and out of the car much more easily, also up a flight of stairs to go to bed at night and safely back down in the morning. he did walk like she "had a load in her pants" bt is getting use to the straps around her hind legs. It has covers that slide to prevent chaffing of the groin area by the straps. My only real issue at this point is minor. I wish the straps at the front of the shoulders was more adjustable. The next size up would have been much too large over all for my dog. The front shoulder straps just fit my dog and there is no room to lose them up just a bit for added comfort. Front and back, top and bottom is self explanatory once you have the harness out of the package and lay it out. It takes less than one minute to get on (and my dog doesn't always cooperate) and just seconds to get off. And while this should not be left on all day and the dog should not sleep in it, I did fall asleep on the couch and my dog had her's on all night one night. She was fine in the morning and slept quietly. My dog can't curl into a ball anymore to sleep, but if your's still can it would not be able to with the harness on. I am very happy with this product and will be recommending it to my clients who need something to help with back injured or just old dogs that need a little help. Oh, and it's reflective, a big plus for me as we walk at night on dark wooded roads.

We’ve had this harness just under a month. My dog is a 10 year old AB at 130 lbs. He started having seizures in January and has been on medications since March.We got this harness after he started having weakness going up and down the steps to go outside or get to the car. We keep the harness on during awake hours and remove it for bed hours. He wears it a max of 14 hours a day. No skin issues so far with the straps that go under the hind legs. It has helped so much in supporting him up the steps but he still insists going down on his own.The rear straps have a lot of extra material that hangs off behind him so I have folded them and fed them back through the two layers to keep from getting messy. The buckles seem to be very strong and capable but beware to keep you and your dogs skin away from them. I snapped a buckle on the skin between my thumb and finger when he moved a bit and it drew some blood.Make sure you measure your dog following the instructions before ordering. For his measurements we got the XXXL and it fits him nearly perfect. The chest/belly support stops just before the bits that don’t need covered in order to do his business.The camo print part that goes over the hips seems to hang a bit low over the base of his tail with the strap that goes between the shoulder and hip section where the handles are is just a tad too long.Unfortunately/fortunately within the return/replacement window one of the buckles broke off one of the little snap in place teeth. It happened when I was putting the harness on and not during a moment when he needed support thank goodness but we have received the replacement and hope these buckles will last. If not I will update and reach out to the company.
