Product description
When a dog struggles with stairs, getting up from rest, or walking due to forelimb weakness, the right harness can transform daily life for both pet and owner. The harness features a broad chest and belly panel that spreads lifting load across the sternum rather than concentrating it at one point, reducing discomfort and giving your dog better stability.
A sturdy back handle gives you confidence and control when assisting your dog to stand, go up steps, or move across difficult terrain. It's designed for dogs with genuine mobility challenges — whether from age, injury, neurological conditions, or post-surgical recovery — and comes in medium and large.
- Wide chest and belly panel distributes weight evenly
- Robust back handle for lifting and guiding
- Supports dogs with forelimb weakness or mobility issues
- Available in medium and large
What the options mean. Sizes run from Medium to Large — £45.99 for the smallest, £50.49 for the largest.
Who it's for: older Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds with hip or elbow issues, dogs recovering from surgery, Dachshunds with back problems, and any dog needing mobility support.
Why we chose it
The broad chest and belly panel is what makes this workable: the lifting load spreads across the sternum instead of concentrating in one strap. A back handle for stairs and getting up from rest. Medium and large only.
— Matt, founder

Size guide & how to measure
Harnesses are sized by the chest (girth) — the measurement around the widest part of the ribcage, just behind the front legs.
How to measure
- Stand your dog up squarely.
- Wrap a soft tape around the widest part of the chest, just behind the front legs.
- Keep two fingers under the tape so the fit is snug, not tight.
- If your dog is between sizes, choose the larger one.
| Size | Typical chest / girth | Rough guide |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 28–40 cm | Toy breeds, very small dogs |
| S | 38–53 cm | Small dogs (e.g. Dachshund, Yorkie) |
| M | 50–68 cm | Medium dogs (e.g. Cocker Spaniel, Beagle) |
| L | 65–85 cm | Large dogs (e.g. Labrador, Boxer) |
| XL | 82–105 cm | Giant breeds (e.g. German Shepherd, Rottweiler) |
