Dog after knee surgery doesn’t want to walk – can a support harness help?

After orthopedic surgery, dogs often experience weakness or insecurity when placing their paws on the ground. A rehabilitation support harness can help safely walk the dog and partially relieve the operated limb, allowing the animal to gradually return to movement. However, the harness should support rehabilitation and not replace prescribed exercises.
