Support Rehabilitation Harness back

The harness stabilizes the dog’s pelvis and hindquarters, allowing the caregiver to provide gentle support during movement.

It is especially helpful:

• when getting up from a bed,

• when going outside,

• during short rehabilitation walks,

• when climbing stairs,

• in situations involving loss of balance.

By supporting the rear part of the body, the dog can maintain physical activity, which is important in the rehabilitation process and for preserving mobility in senior dogs.

The harness is particularly suitable for dogs:

• after orthopedic surgeries (TPLO, TTA, ACL),

• after injuries and accidents,

• with hip dysplasia,

• with degenerative joint changes,

• with hind limb paresis,

• senior dogs that have difficulty standing up and walking.

Choose the support that matches your dog’s needs.

The rehabilitation harness supports the dog’s movement but does not replace rehabilitation therapy or veterinary treatment. It should be used as an aid in daily functioning and in accordance with the recommendations of a veterinarian or animal physiotherapist.

A properly fitted harness should not cause pressure or restrict the natural movement of the limbs

rear harness – supports only the hind limbs and pelvis,

carrier – supports the dog’s entire body,

a harness is used when the dog can walk independently but needs support

• moves independently, but has difficulty bearing weight on the hind legs,
• needs support when getting up or walking,
• is undergoing rehabilitation after surgery or an injury,
• quickly loses balance during walks

If the dog does not move independently or requires full body support, a rehabilitation carrier may be a better solution.

If in doubt, we will help you choose the right solution.

To ensure the harness properly supports your dog’s movement, it’s important to avoid a few common mistakes:

Lifting the hindquarters too high
The harness should only support the dog’s movement. The hind legs should remain in contact with the ground, and the dog should move independently.

Too loose or too tight a fit
An improperly fitted harness can cause discomfort or fail to provide stability. The harness should fit snugly against the body without causing pressure.

Replacing movement with full support
Movement is an important part of rehabilitation. The harness should assist with walking, not completely replace the dog’s activity.

Using it for too long at once
Support should be adjusted to the dog’s abilities and rehabilitation recommendations. Shorter, more frequent sessions are better.

A properly fitted harness should not cause pressure or restrict the natural movement of the limbs.

Product Purpose

The rehabilitation support harness is designed to assist dogs that have difficulty moving, especially in cases of hind limb weakness. The product is intended for dogs after orthopedic surgeries, injuries, during rehabilitation, and for senior dogs with limited mobility.

The harness is not intended for carrying healthy animals or for fully lifting the dog’s body weight. Its purpose is to support natural movement and partially relieve the hindquarters.

Preparation for Use

• Before first use, check the condition of the harness and fastening elements.

• Adjust the size and strap length so that the harness stably supports the dog’s hindquarters without causing pressure.

• The harness should fit snugly against the body without restricting breathing or the free movement of the front limbs.

How to Put It On

• Position the dog standing or lying on its side — depending on its mobility.

• Place the harness under the abdomen around the pelvis and hind limbs area.

• Adjust the straps so that the harness is stable but does not cause pressure.

• Hold the handles and gently lift the dog’s hindquarters, providing only the level of support necessary for movement.

• Allow the dog to move at a natural pace.

Safe Use Guidelines

• The harness should assist movement, not completely replace it.

• Do not carry the dog over long distances using only the harness.

• Do not use during running or sudden movements.

• If pain, discomfort, or improper body positioning occurs, discontinue use.

• After recent surgeries, use according to the recommendations of a veterinarian or animal physiotherapist.

Duration of Use

The rehabilitation harness should be used during activities that require additional support, such as getting up, short rehabilitation walks, going outside, or climbing stairs. The duration of use should be adjusted to the dog’s health condition and rehabilitation recommendations.

Care and Product Inspection

• Regularly check the condition of seams and load-bearing elements.

• Do not use a damaged harness.

• Clean according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Store in a dry place.
