Details
2-piece full-body support · Lifting handles front and back · Machine washable
For every dog, young or old, big or small, who could use a helping paw
This two-piece, full-body lifting harness lets you support your dog from both ends at once. A padded front harness and a rear hip lift clip together with a connector strap, and each half has its own handle. That way you can lift your whole dog evenly, steady them on walks, help them into the car or carry them up and down the stairs. The hip lift supports from underneath, and the harness adjusts at 10 points for a close, personal fit.
How it works
Two pieces, one full-body lift
The front harness sits around the chest and shoulders, the hip lift sits around the back legs, and the connector strap joins them along the back. Lift with both handles and the weight is shared across the whole body.
- 2-piece full-body harness: front harness plus rear hip lift.
- Ergonomic, non-slip grip: padded handles on both halves.
- D-rings: on the neck, chest and waist clips for a leash or walking handles.
- 10 adjustment points: shoulder slides, chest clips, tail straps and hip lift clips.
- Soft lining: ultra-soft microfleece on the inside.
Who it's for
Conventional or U-band hip lift?
Conventional hip lift
For all female dogs and about 80% of male dogs. A solid belly band gives full pelvic support without getting in the way when your dog pees.
U-band hip lift
For male dogs set further back. In about 20% of male dogs the tip of the penis sits further back between the hind legs. The U-shaped band leaves room so they can pee comfortably.
How to tell: if the tip of your dog's penis is not visible from a side view, choose the U-band. The U-band is not available in size XS.
Size
Choose by your dog's total weight
XS 10-25 lbs, S 25-45 lbs, M 45-80 lbs, L 80-125 lbs, XL 125-225 lbs. If your dog is between sizes, we recommend sizing down.
- Total weight: in most cases your dog's total weight decides the size.
- Age and condition: older dogs with thinner back legs may need a smaller rear piece for a snug fit. A 55 lb dog with a thin rear may suit a small rear piece, while a 75 lb dog with a similar build fits a full medium.
- Breed: some barrel-chested breeds need a larger front piece. Between sizes, size up the front and size down the rear.
Where to use it
Convenient and immediate support
Support for everyday activities: walks, rides in the car, trips to the park and getting up and down the steps at home. Grab the handles the moment your dog needs a hand.
Key features
Thoughtful design
The hip lift supports from underneath the back legs instead of pulling on the belly, so the lift feels gentler on the hips and back end.
Key features
Fit for comfort
An ergonomic design with 10 adjustment points gives a truly personal fit, and the soft microfleece lining sits gently against the coat.
Who it's for
A helping hand for senior dogs
Made for dogs who find it harder to get around, such as older dogs with stiff joints or weaker back legs. The harness lets you take some of their weight so they can keep moving with you.
Did you know?
Easy on you
It spreads the weight evenly, so you can lift your entire dog at once instead of struggling with the front or the back end.
The D-rings also take a leash, walking handles or a shoulder strap for extra leverage with bigger dogs.
Questions people ask
How long can my dog wear the harness?
It can be worn comfortably for long periods, but give your dog a break when it isn't needed and let them sleep without it if possible. Need a 3am potty break? Just take it off when you come back inside. Loosen the straps when your dog wants to lie down in it.
Can my dog relieve themself while wearing it?
Yes. The straps between the hind legs are held apart by the tail, giving full clearance. Male and female dogs can pee comfortably with the conventional hip lift. For male dogs set further back, choose the U-band.
Is the harness washable?
Yes, machine or hand wash it with mild soap and air dry it (dryers dry out the neoprene over time). Every harness comes with a protective wash bag. Avoid bleach and harsh detergents. For urine odour, soak it in white vinegar and water (1:3) and wash with mild soap.
Can I use the hip lift by itself?
No. The front half can be used alone, but the hip lift needs to be connected to the front half to stay in place.
Good to know
- This is a mobility and comfort aid for dogs, not a medical device. If your dog has a health condition, ask your vet how best to support them.
- Never use the hip lift without the front half: on its own it can slip off.
- Loosen the straps when your dog lies down to help prevent hot spots, rubbing or overheating.
- Some dogs chew the harness when left alone, so check it often.
- Watch for signs of discomfort, hot spots or overheating, and take it off straight away if your dog is bothered.
