I took time researching slings when our 13 year old Great Dane suffered a spinal stroke and lost the use of her rear legs. I’m glad I took my time and didn’t order the ones that come up first in the search results. This is made of a very sturdy nylon outer material, think almost like seatbelt material. This is important because other slings are made from a thinner material that will bunch up, particularly when the dog squats to go to the bathroom. That in turn puts pressure on the dog’s bladder making it difficult for them to empty their bladder… Ask me how I know….
This material almost doesn’t bunch up at all and has so much Sherpa padding I’m sure that it is quite comfortable for the dog. As for how sturdy this material is, well I actually created a wheelchair for our Dane as she still hasn’t recovered the use of her back legs. I used this as a sling and cut 4 holes in it where I threaded bolts through it to attach to the wheelchair. There is no ripping of any kind and that’s under the weight of a 150 lb dog. I really couldn’t be happier with this product. Don’t waste your money on anything else. This is super sturdy, comfy and easy to use.

I have an elderly Pitbull who has arthritis in her back legs. Sometimes it is very hard for her to walk and this sling has been just what I needed to help her! It is soft inside but very strong (she weighs 80 lbs). It has helped her tremendously and saved my back! I would highly recommend!

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 almost 80 lb Lab/German Shepherd Dog had surgery on her leg so in order to get her in and out of the vehicle for the procedure and for check ups we use this . It is soft on the inside, strong and works great for lifting her back end while loading her in and out. I would definitely recommend this for surgeries or older dogs that need help getting around. The Sling got here quickly and we couldn’t be happier with it.

Great sling to assist my Bulldog after her TPLO knee surgery. She is roughly 60 lbs. I ordered a Large. Probably could have went with a medium for her.

This dog sling has helped us tremendously, our dog is 15 years old and having a hard time getting around on her back legs these days. Using this device to help her walk outside to go to the bathroom or get some exercise has really made it possible. She doesn’t mind it either and the fabric is comfortable on her belly. Highly recommend this product to anyone who would need something to help their dog walk and or get up from laying down.

I was going to buy the $150 harness for my Old English sheepdog but then I saw this. My girl is having problems sometimes when she tries to use her back legs. This harness is great!!!!. I am able to gently get this under her and help. I also use it to get her into the car if she needs assist. This is a great product.

I got this for my Brittany who suddenly developed myelopathy in hind legs and then the front legs and then Sards. This helped for a few days but his degeneration was too swift and I had to take him u and downstairs the last 2 days on a stairlift that was fortunately in place.. The product is awesome — beautifully made. I bought a Large for a 44 pound Britt — should have bought small because I couldn’t short the Large enough. Again, SUPERIOR quality.
