My dog is a big 90-pound Pyr/Shepherd mix, and has arthritic hips and lower back. I have tweaked my own back trying to help him up our front steps, and on our walks, once he tires out (which is pretty quickly), his back legs give out and he ends up sitting and not able to stand up.
This sling has helped so much! The size large is plenty big enough, and he got used to it pretty quickly. I’m tall (5’ 10”), and the straps are plenty long enough. I carry it with me when we are walking, and put it on as we are coming home and he’s done pottying. Just having the support helps him not collapse. Getting up the steps is super easy now - he is able to do most of the work while I provide the stability for his back legs.
We practiced with it first in the house with treats and that seemed to help him get used to it. At first, he’d freeze like a statue if I put any tension on it, and I found I can’t “herd” him with it, but with the sling in my right hand and the leash in my left, I can use the leash to gently pull and he unfreezes. It took no time at all to get that process working well. It’s wide though and covers up his pieces parts, so I don’t use it through the entire walk or he would pee on it. It’s easy enough to slide it on and off though as needed - I just don’t need that level of assistance yet. He does have issues sometimes pooping and sitting down suddenly, so I am thinking we will try using the sling if we need to do that. It should be fine ergonomically if it comes to that.
He also has a hard time on damp days getting up from lying on the hardwood floor (which he stubbornly insists upon doing in spite of rugs and his bed), and this helps me get him standing easily.
The sling is sturdy - the straps are sewn on very well, and the sherpa lining is very soft. I haven’t had to wash it yet, but imagine that it will be easy to throw it in the washing machine with no problem.
I am super grateful to have found this. I was at my breaking point with his back legs collapsing and the injuries I was sustaining getting him up the steps. We were having so many problems, I was fighting off deep fear for how to continue to care for him. Having the sling to help him with his walks also helps him the rest of the time, because he hasn’t had to overwork himself. It has certainly changed the dynamic of his care,
This is a wonderful product and I highly recommend it!

How to Make it Even Better!
This was a four star product at first, but now it's a five! My dog has ruptured tendons in both knees, and can't climb the stairs on her own (she can come down). When we tried this, she thought there was a barrier that she was supposed to jump over in order to move forward. It was easy for her to just jump right out of it.Now I've attached a VELCRO band across the back. I used two pieces of grosgrain ribbon, one on top of the other, just to make it thicker. Then I attached Velcro to each end (could be just one end), and to the sides of the sling. I put the hook end of the Velcro on the sling, the loop side on the band. I closed the Velcro band across her back, and she understood that this is something she is wearing -- like a harness -- not something she needs to shed. I say "Come get Helper!" and she walks right over and stands above it. I close the band, and up we go! She leads with her front legs, with me helping support her back legs. We're both very happy with the results!

I got a large for my 13 yr old shar pei/pitt who weights about 73 lbs. and has arthritis in her hips. She’s on previcox so we only need to get in/out of the car because my suv seats are quite high (even with a ramp) and she can’t lift her legs that much or jump anymore.
The sling is very high quality, perfect starching and looks like it’ll hold up a long time. The outer canvass makes it rigid enough to not crumple up at the waist but it’s still completely flexible and comfortable for her.
I choose this style because I can pop it on & off her tummy while she’s walking in a split second. Especially helpful if she ends up having trouble mid stair - her can assist her in a flash instead of trying to hook up a harness
