Guardian Gear Nylon Lift and Lead 4-In-1 Dog Harness, Small, Blue


Great Harness
I purchased this harness for use after our dog had TPLO surgery. She is a 90 lb lab/shepherd. The design of the harness is great for lifting her in and out of the car, down stairs, etc. while post-op. I especially like the handle on the back of the harness for quick control of our dog. I continue to use the harness because it fits well and the soft lining is warm and cozy for her. Our dog loves the harness and I really think it works much like a "thunder shirt" and calms her. I would recommend this harness to anyone looking for post-surgery support and for anyone interested in a comfortable walking harness for their dog. The price was a winner too!
EXCELLENT ITEM!!!!
I have large 15 year old collie shephard mix who has a very bad hind leg. Sometimes it does not support him at all and because he has a hard time lifting it, he drags it scratching the top of his nails. I have tried many expensive slings and other types of leashes where the back end would be supported in a comfortable way but none worked for me in the way that this did. My dog is a male, this can be positioned so he can "Tinkle" and not have it get in the way, (its also washable and dries fast). The pieces that support the dog are padded so they do not dig into his skin, its easy to put on and take off. You do not break your back trying to support your dog, the straps are long enough to stand straight when you walk with him or her and the design makes it easy to guide your dog in the right direction. Last, you can remove the back part and just use the front halter which is nice and strong when your dog does not need to be supported any longer. For me, I think my dog will always need...
Not for my dog
This may be a great product, but it really didn't work for my 75 lb. Belgian Shepherd. She has DM (Degenerative Myelopathy) and has trouble with her hind legs. This harness didn't really do much to help me control her back legs. I returned it and am trying the rear harness from the Walkin' Wheels brand.
