Rear-Assist Dog Sling
Goes well with...
Their Front Legs Still Work — Just Give the Back Half a Hand
Targeted Hind Support
Lifts exactly where arthritis and hip dysplasia take their toll — the weak back end.
On in Seconds
Slips under the belly and you're moving. No buckles to fight when your dog needs to go now.
Saves Your Back
A padded top handle keeps you upright instead of stooped over holding a towel.
Soft & Washable
Fleece-lined support panel that's gentle on the belly and machine washable.
Slide it under
Place the sling under your dog's belly, just in front of the hind legs.
Lift gently
Take just enough weight off the hips — your dog keeps walking naturally with their front legs.
Go where needed
Stairs, potty trips, the car, slick floors — steady support exactly when it's needed.

Small Sling, Big Difference
"Her hips give out on the stairs but her spirit hasn't. This lets her do her own stairs again — I just carry a little of the load."
Paula S. — 12-y.o. Golden Retriever"We tried the towel trick for months. This is night and day — proper handle, no slipping, and my back doesn't scream after every potty trip."
Greg M. — 10-y.o. Rottweiler"Arthritis in both hips. The sling means she still gets her garden patrol every morning. Worth every cent."
Elaine B. — 14-y.o. Border CollieFrequently Asked Questions
Is this enough support, or does my dog need the full harness?
If the front legs are still strong and your dog mainly struggles to rise, climb stairs, or keep the hips steady — the sling is enough. If they're weak at both ends, need all-day wearable support, or are recovering from surgery, choose The Rise full-body harness instead.
Can it be left on like The Rise?
No — the sling is a grab-and-go tool for moments of need, not continuous wear. If you want leave-it-on convenience, that's exactly what The Rise is for.
Will it press on her belly or bladder?
The panel is wide and fleece-padded to spread pressure, and it sits forward of the bladder. Lift only as much as your dog needs — most need just 20-30% of their weight taken.
Is it machine washable?
Yes — cold, gentle cycle, air dry.
What if it doesn't work for my dog?
30-day money-back guarantee. Full refund, no hassle.
