Mixweer’s two-piece dog rear leg support harness set is designed to help lift and support the hindquarters of older, injured, or recovering dogs weighing 5 to 20 lb (2.3 to 9.1 kg), with adjustable slings and traction cords.

• Two harnesses in the set — keep a second sling available for replacement.
• For dogs weighing 5 to 20 lb (2.3 to 9.1 kg) — sized for the weight range given for this support harness.
• Adjustable leg fit and traction cord — adapt the sling to your dog and the lifting situation.
• Nylon rope and coral fleece — combine a supporting rope with a soft surface against your dog.

When a dog needs help moving on its hind legs, lifting the hips can be difficult for both pet and handler. This sling is made for older dogs and those who are injured or recovering, providing a way to raise the hindquarters with a handle and traction cord. Adjust the fit to your dog’s leg circumference before lifting so the harness stays positioned correctly.

Which dogs is this rear leg support harness designed for?

Mixweer’s support harness is intended for older, injured, or recovering dogs in the 5 to 20 lb (2.3 to 9.1 kg) weight range. It raises the hips by supporting the hind legs, making it an alternative to lifting a dog directly from the ground. The adjustable sling can be positioned to avoid contact with an injured leg.

• Made for hind-leg support and lifting.
• Adjust the fit to your dog’s leg circumference.
• A loose fit may let the legs separate or slip out, so check the positioning before use.

How do you use the sling to lift a dog?

Place your dog’s hind legs in the harness, adjust the sling length, then set the traction cord to a suitable length before lifting with the padded handle. The simple setup is designed to be ready in seconds once correctly adjusted. Keep the harness snug enough to stay in place without letting the legs slip free.

• The harness and traction cord lengths are adjustable.
• The padded handle provides a lifting grip.
• Lightweight construction makes the sling portable.

What materials and pieces are included?

Each set contains two orange support harnesses made from nylon rope and coral fleece. The rope forms the supporting sling, while the fleece provides a soft surface for contact with your dog. The harness is unisex and made for hind-leg support rather than serving as an ordinary walking harness.

• Two support harnesses per set.
• Nylon rope and coral fleece construction.
• Orange color.

This set suits handlers who need a portable way to help a small older, injured, or recovering dog lift its hindquarters. It is designed for supportive lifting of the rear legs, with an adjustable fit and handle rather than use as a standard walking harness. For dogs within the stated weight range, it provides a two-piece sling set made for hind-leg assistance.
