Resistente y de buena calidad. Materiales suaves por dentro para no lastimar la piel de mi perrita. Muy bien producto

Minha sogra comprou para usar com a cachorra idosa dela, uma pastor alemão, que está com problemas para caminhar sozinha. Seu uso, associado com a fisioterapia, tem ajudado ela a se locomover melhor.

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!

Really great quality- the lining is soft and has some comfort to it for the dog. Sturdy and feels very secure holding. Easy on the tummy when helping them along.
