Lightweight support for the hind legs<\/h3>\n

The Rear Support Harness for Dogs by Ortocanis<\/strong> is a lightweight mobility aid designed to help dogs experiencing weakness or reduced mobility in their hind legs. Its two padded leg loops are positioned around the upper rear legs, allowing the caregiver to provide gentle support while the dog stands, walks or changes position.<\/p>\n

The adjustable handle helps the owner assist the dog without repeatedly bending down. Once the straps have been properly adjusted, the harness can be quickly positioned whenever the dog needs additional stability.<\/p>\n

This simple design may be particularly useful for senior dogs, dogs with hip or joint weakness and animals experiencing difficulty standing or walking.<\/p>\n

Two individually padded leg loops<\/h3>\n

The harness consists of two separate adjustable loops, with one loop supporting each rear leg. The padded protection helps improve comfort around the upper legs while assistance is being provided.<\/p>\n

Unlike a wide abdominal sling, this design does not place a broad support panel underneath the dog\u2019s stomach. It provides targeted support around the hind legs, making it suitable for dogs requiring assistance specifically at the rear of the body.<\/p>\n

The padded sections can be removed when fitting the harness to a very small dog. Always check that the loops remain comfortably positioned and do not pinch the skin or pull the dog\u2019s fur.<\/p>\n

Adjustable handle for the caregiver<\/h3>\n

The lifting handle can be adjusted according to the dog\u2019s height and the caregiver\u2019s preferred working position. Correct adjustment allows the owner to provide support while maintaining a more natural posture.<\/p>\n

The dog\u2019s regular leash and the harness handle can generally be held in the same hand. However, the harness is intended to complement the leash rather than replace it. Continue using a properly fitted collar or walking harness to guide and control the dog.<\/p>\n

Assistance should always be gentle and progressive. The dog should continue to support as much of its own weight as safely possible.<\/p>\n

Suitable for everyday mobility assistance<\/h3>\n

The Rear Support Harness for Dogs may be helpful when assisting a dog with:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Hip dysplasia<\/li>\n
  • Hip osteoarthritis<\/li>\n
  • Hip instability<\/li>\n
  • Muscle weakness<\/li>\n
  • Joint weakness<\/li>\n
  • Motor incoordination<\/li>\n
  • Ataxia<\/li>\n
  • Certain neurological mobility problems<\/li>\n
  • Age-related hind-leg weakness<\/li>\n
  • Difficulty standing after resting<\/li>\n
  • Reduced balance while walking<\/li>\n
  • Temporary mobility limitations<\/li>\n
  • Supervised rehabilitation exercises<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The harness may also be useful when helping a dog cross a doorway threshold, take a few assisted steps, walk across a slippery surface or go outside for a bathroom break.<\/p>\n

    The cause of weakness, pain or reduced mobility should be evaluated by a veterinarian. This harness is a mechanical mobility aid and does not replace veterinary diagnosis, treatment or professional rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

    How to put on the harness<\/h3>\n

    Keep the dog as calm and still as possible during the initial fitting. Place each rear leg through one of the padded loops. Position the loops around the upper portion of the hind legs and verify that the padding lies flat against the dog.<\/p>\n

    Use the adjustment buckles to adapt each loop to the dog\u2019s leg. The loops should be secure enough to remain in position without compressing the leg or restricting circulation.<\/p>\n

    Adjust the lifting handle to a height that allows you to stand comfortably beside the dog. Begin by applying only a small amount of upward assistance and allow the dog to take a few steps on a stable, non-slip surface.<\/p>\n

    The first fitting may require some patience. Once the straps have been adjusted to the dog\u2019s body, subsequent use should become easier and faster.<\/p>\n

    One adjustable size<\/h3>\n

    This harness is offered in one adjustable size and is generally intended for dogs weighing approximately:<\/p>\n

    4 to 45 kg \u2014 9 to 100 lb<\/strong><\/p>\n

    For very small dogs, the padded protection around the leg loops may be removed to achieve a more appropriate fit.<\/p>\n

    Dogs weighing less than 4 kg or more than 45 kg may require a different Ortocanis support harness. Body weight is only a general guide: the dog\u2019s anatomy, upper-leg circumference and overall comfort must also be considered.<\/p>\n

    Safe use and supervision<\/h3>\n

    The Rear Support Harness is intended to provide partial assistance during standing and walking. Never use the handle to suspend the dog completely in the air.<\/p>\n

    Inspect the dog\u2019s skin regularly, especially around the inner thighs and areas touching the padded loops. Stop using the product if you observe redness, irritation, swelling or unusual discomfort.<\/p>\n

    Begin with short sessions and increase the duration gradually according to the dog\u2019s tolerance and the recommendations of its veterinarian or rehabilitation professional.<\/p>\n

    Before each use, inspect the straps, adjustment buckles, seams, padding and handle. Do not use the harness if any component appears damaged or excessively worn.<\/p>\n
