How to choose the right support for your dog? Rehabilitation carrier or rehabilitation harness?

Choosing the right support depends on which part of the dog’s body needs assistance and how independently the dog is able to move.

Rear rehabilitation support harness

Best solution when:

• the dog walks independently,

• has difficulty supporting weight on the hind legs,

• needs help standing up or stabilisation while walking,

• the issue concerns hips, knees, or hind limbs.

A rear harness supports the pelvis and hind legs, allowing the dog to maintain a natural gait.

Front rehabilitation support harness

Suitable when:

• the dog has weakened front legs,

• balance issues are present,

• the dog needs chest support while walking,

• the issue concerns shoulders, elbows, or front limbs.

A front harness stabilises the front part of the body and makes it easier to control the dog’s movement.

Rehabilitation carrier

Best solution when:

• the dog requires greater full-body support,

• has difficulty maintaining posture independently,

• support is needed for both front and rear,

• the dog is in the early stage of rehabilitation.

A carrier allows partial unloading of the dog’s entire body during movement.
