Review this product

The Silver Tails Bottoms Up Harness helps you help your dysplastic, arthritic, post-surgical, or otherwise disabled dog move more comfortably and safely. The harness works by supporting a portion of the dogs hind legs while they walk, or attempt to go up/down stairs.

The adjustable harness strap fits around your dog’s back legs and is then clipped to the dog’s collar. Once in place you can use the strap handle to lift the dog’s hindquarters when helping him stand up or you may use the longer leash strap to give him support him while he walks along with you.

Unlike a towel under the belly, the Bottoms Up Harness product allows your dog to eliminate and keeps you from having to stoop over. For quick cleanup, remove only the padded neoprene sleeves and wash with soap and water.

  • Comfortable "always on" harness
  • Rear lift handle aids inlifting and getting them moving
  • Steadies older, arthritic and post-surgical dogs
  • Attachable leash for comfort and stability

 

How it works

  • It allows the animal to perform bodily functions (urinate and defecate) unencumbered, while being supported by a person who lifts a portion of the animal's weight at a 90-degree angle from the top of the back, in front of the tail area. It works by taking the animal's weight off its hind legs while you walk your dog from the rear. 
  • Because the straps have a clearance in design off of the animal's back, the pressure is distributed under the center of its hind legs. This gives the most complete support of the rear hips and upper rear legs. By lifting slightly on the leash, the pet owner can control the amount of weight that is being placed on the animal's hind legs. The animal will still be going through the walking motion and will still be applying pressure on its legs, so the leash acts as an effective therapeutic device.
  • This leash is adjustable in size (one-size-fits-all) and has been used for dogs as heavy as 135 pounds and as small as Dachshund's and Lhasa Apso's.

    Customer Feedback

    "I really dont know what I would do without this leash! I have a hundred pound German shepard and it has been hard to get him around. I use the leash to get him up the stairs on the deck. Without it he really wouldnt be able to walk. This way he gets the movement he needs." Mr. Ruffino - Islip NY


    "Just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with our leash. We are able to take our dog, whom we may soon lose to cancer, on walks, which wouldn't be possible without the support we can give him with the leash. We are so pleased to be able to help him enjoy what may be his last days. We used the leash on a visit to our dog's surgeon. The vet was impressed with the leash's design and asked us to bring her ordering information so that she could pass it on to her other clients. Thanks so much!" Amanda Sumner - USA


    "I wish I had heard about this dog leash earlier. My dog has had arthritis for about two years and the leash would certainly have been a huge in getting outside to do her business. I am taking your dog harness to the local adoption center to let them know about your product. They are all dog lovers like me and I know this will be of some help to them." Grant - Firebaugh

    This leash is a godsend, I can now get Sandy safely down the stairs. I tried the towel method & hands under her tummy both were uncomfortable for her and myself. This leash allows me to help her down the stairs without bending and I have her weight in one hand, very safe and she has her dignity back. Thank you.
