Dxenion Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Has anyone used a lifting harness to support the back end of a large dog (GSD)? Which brand/ model did you use and what were the pros and cons of it? I have looked at the following products: Australian Pet Slings: http://www.australianpetslings.com.au/index.html Lift-n-Aid Dog Mobility Harness: http://www.ozpetshop.com.au/product_info.p...roducts_id/2000 Outward Hound Travel Up and Out Lift Harness: http://www.pettastic-petsupplies.co.uk/out...dogs-1078-p.asp I'm after a sling that will be simple to fit quickly and easy to use to lift the back end of the dog into the car (a ramp or step isn't an option due to space limitations). I'm happy to pay more for a quality product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 This maybe a sillly question, but if it is just for getting her into the car, can't you just boost her up with your hands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dxenion Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Not a silly question. I just can't physically lift her back end up. Nothing to do with her weight though. She's very comfortable with anyone lifting her back end up, it's just not something I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentchild Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 How about just using a towel? When my dog was partially immobile after surgery we helped her walk around by supporting her back end with a towel as a sling, as suggested by the vet.

Danelady Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 We sell a few different ones and they are all made here in Australia by us. They are cheaper than the overseas ones too! www.aquapaws.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
