These care lift harnesses are honestly amazing I had one for my 14 yr old German shepherd Dog but sadly he died 3 yrs ago & I moved 2 yrs ago and couldn’t find it so I bought this new one for my German Shepherd girl who’s 9 yr old in may this yr she just had a big emergancy operation in October 2021 for Pyometra & she’s been struggling to come upstairs so we are helping her by using this as they truly work on dogs that their bk legs are starting to go they are honestly amazing I swear by these care lift harnesses my dog is ok on flat ground kinda thing but my other dog I lost his bk legs were going and I bought exactly the same one for him and it really helped him I just couldn’t find it and bought another one for my girl so if your thinking about getting one please don’t hesitate as it’s worth every single penny & you will see a difference in your dogs walking I’ve used this on her since we got it but today I took it off her and washed it and I’ve kept it off her today and she came up the stairs herself my hubby was walking behind her incase she started to struggle n may fall and hurt herself but she didn’t n not even a whimper either but next time I see her struggling it will be straight on her she will still be sore so no long walks just out the bk door for a few month more and hopefully she won’t need her care lift but it’s here if she needs it as I know these definitely help 100% Ive added a pic of her with hers on she seems fine in her harness I took this pic when I got it in the post it went straight on her but she’s been resting at home as trying to get her out the car she kept lying down refusing to come out the car I even took the harness off her at the bk end to see if she would come out nope she wanted to stay in the car so I left her for 5 min n went bk out with a bribe of a biscuit n yip she came out once she ate one n thought I’d had more she’s just a spoilt wee girl who deserves to be spoilt anyway but we have left her at home normally she comes out everyday with us in the car but thought no leave her in for an hour we won’t be long so she’s getting extra rest n only goes upstairs when it’s bedtime now so that’s helping her too plus the care lift won’t go to waste I will put it on her when she is going in the car & I’ll take it bk off when she gets in n help her out myself when coming out don’t want to keep it on her when she’s in car alone for safety reasons but once you get the hang of putting it on your dog it’s so easy to do it after a few times I was used to doing it for my old boy so it was easier this time with my girl I recommend these carelifts for dogs they are awesome but please read the instructions n do check that it’s not digging it to your pet take it off at night when they go to bed especially at the bk end as it could rub into them if they dream n move legs about while sleeping as I says I take hers off her at night her top part is looser on her as I was more concerned about her back end as that’s where she was struggling going upstairs they really are brilliant though
