Note: Measurements may have a small margin of error. Recommended weight is a guide only β€” always measure your dog. When between sizes, size up.

Absolutely. The two pieces work together as a full-body system, but each can be used independently depending on where your dog needs support.

Many owners start with the rear piece alone for hip and hindquarter weakness, then add the front when needed.

Start slow. Let your dog sniff and investigate the harness before putting it on.

Put it on for just a few minutes at first indoors with lots of calm praise and a treat reward.

Most dogs associate it with going outside very quickly β€” and once they feel the support it provides, many actually get excited when they see it come out.

We'll make it right. Contact us within 30 days of delivery and we'll exchange it for the correct size or issue a full refund β€” whichever you prefer.

No return shipping hassle, no interrogation. Your dog's comfort is the only thing that matters.

A Note From Us

Every dog wearing this harness has an owner who refused to give up on them. That means everything to us.

We built this product because we've been there β€” watching a dog struggle, feeling helpless, wishing there was something better.

There is. And we stand behind it completely.

Don't hesitate to reach out. We're dog people. We get it.
