Sizing: Considerations & Exceptions

Total Weight

In most cases, your dog’s total weight will determine what size they need. Tip: If your dog’s weight is between sizes, we recommend sizing down.

Age/Condition

For older dogs that may be struggling with muscle wastage or degenerative hind legs, sizing down the harness rear may be needed to achieve an optimal fit. You can always get a smaller rear harness here.

Tip: Consider where your dog’s total weight falls within a size range. If your dog weighs at the lower end, a smaller rear harness might help - a 25kg dog with a degenerative hind may benefit from a small size rear, while a 34kg dog with similar build would do well with a full medium.

Breed

Occasionally, some barrel-chested breeds may require a larger harness front in order to achieve an optimal fit. If your barrel-chested dog’s total weight is between sizes, a larger front harness here - size up the front and size down the rear.

For In Between Sizes

Top Tip: If a dog is on the cusp of two different sizes, the recommendation is to size down a harness size e.g. a 35kg Labrador would likely wear a medium, and a 52kg Husky would like wear a large - but you’d double check measurements.

Male dogs

For most male dogs, the conventional harness fits in front of the hind legs, behind the penis. The whole penis shown here is further forward of the hind legs. You need about 1-2 inches of space behind the penis in front of the hind legs for the conventional band (the sold belly band to fit)

Otherwise, if your dog’s one of the 20 - 25% who have the tip of their penis starting further back between their legs, he’ll need the U-Band shape.

The U-Band Male Help Em Up harness is here.

This provides an easy opening so they can urinate freely. (see picture - the penis is between or even with the front of the hind legs).

Help ‘Em Up Harness

The Help ‘Em Up Harness is a unique full-body lifting device that assists owners with aging dogs to remain active when arthritis, hip dysplasia, muscle loss, or surgical repair impairs a pet’s mobility and physical strength for everyday functions – from getting up off the floor, up and down the stairs, or in and out of cars.

Veterinarians, neurologists, and nurses use the harness for dogs rehabilitating after surgery or recovering from injuries. By placing a handle over the hips and the shoulders, the Help ‘Em Up harness safely lifts from underneath the torso, allowing you to help your dog get up and overcome the daily obstacles of aging and getting around.

Our harness will also help you lift without stress by using the built-in handles, as the Help ‘Em Up harness is designed to distribute weight over the large support surfaces of the chest and hind quarters. Veterinarians, surgeons, nurses, and rehab therapists find our product to be a useful aid in helping their patients be lifted more comfortably post-surgery and rehabilitated more easily.

Can my dog wee wearing the dog harness?

Yes! Neither males or females have problems defecating with the dog harness – as the support straps that come up between their hind legs are held apart by the dogs tail, giving consistent clearance for defecation. Female dogs have no urinating issues for the same reason. Most male dogs can use the conventional harness without issue, as their penis generally will come out in front of the belly band – giving them good clearance to urinate. However, for those male dogs whose penis starts further back, between their hind legs, the tip of their penis may be partially covered by the belly band. For them we have a male version that provides a cutout for penis clearance.

Is my dog lifting harness washable?

Yes, all of our dog lifting harnesses can be machine or hand washed – but we recommend air drying. Dryers tend to dry out the neoprene over time. We do not recommend the use of bleach or other harsh detergents but mild soaps work great. Urine odor can be a problem so try to clean regularly and white vinegar and water in a 1 to 3 percentage works pretty well to cut the smell. There are also commercial cleaners available that can help to cut odor. Ask your favourite pet supplier for recommendations.

How long can I leave the Help ’Em Up harness on my dog?

It can be worn for extended periods; however, we suggest that you give your dog breaks from wearing it. Let them sleep without it if possible or if you have a dog that needs a potty trip at 3am, take it off after they return. Also, watch for them chewing on it when left alone. If you are leaving it on for extended periods, please check for hot spots and overheating as it can become uncomfortable for your dog if left on for too long a time.

A veterinary physiotherapist recommended this harness for our very arthritc and limping working cocker spaniel. In all other respects she is fine, at 14+ years, and it has made such a difference to her walks, even though they are no longer as long as they used to be. She wears it happily and we have probably taken longer to get used to it than she did.

Help Em Up Harness is helping me help my dog to move

This harness is a game changer for me and my dog! He is a 15 yo springer spaniel and almost between sizes (S/M) due to rear end muscle wasting but customer service was very helpful in guiding my choices according to the measurements I took. I went for Medium (as suggested by our canine physiotherapist). It did seem too large at first but at our physio helped adjust it to the correct fit. I do need some leeway to put incontinence pads and coats on so I am happy to have that versatility size wise. I have tried other lifting support but this is the best for us so far.

Great Harness

As advised this does come up roomy so the medium was ideal for my chocolate lab . Very sturdy structure with plenty of fitting advice. It’s a great way to help him up steps or into the car . Excellent service and good communication about each step of my delivery. Very pleased with this product.

Happy with the purchase, but...what's that thing in the middle?

It's very useful. Fits a bit large. We purchased a lot of different harnesses after my dog suffered an ANNPE and his hind legs were paralized. As we have to lift his back, this harness is really great, provided the right level of support for him and for us. But there's something rigid in the middle that keeps his legs spread out and ...maybe shouldn't be there. Would be good to know if it can be removed. Other than that it's great
