The Helper is a full-body mobility harness designed for dogs who need a little extra support on walks. Whether your dog is recovering from surgery, managing hip dysplasia, or simply feeling their age — The Helper lets you lift, guide, and walk with them comfortably.
The one-shoulder carry strap means you walk naturally, side by side. The ergonomic top handle gives you control for quick lifts — up a step, into the car, over a curb. And the soft, breathable mesh means your dog can wear it for hours without irritation.
Trusted by owners and recommended by veterinarians for post-surgery rehabilitation, hip dysplasia management, and age-related mobility support.
We're so confident in The Helper that every order comes with a full 30-day money-back guarantee. Take it for walks. Try it on the stairs. Let your dog wear it every day for a month. If you don't see a real difference — or if it's just not the right fit — we'll refund every cent.
Just send us an email and we'll refund every cent — simple as that.

Is the harness waterproof?
Is the harness waterproof?
The mesh is water-resistant and dries quickly after wet walks or light rain.
It handles typical outdoor conditions without any problem just don't submerge it. After muddy walks, hand rinse and air dry.
Can i just use the rear harness or just the front harness?
Can i just use the rear harness or just the front harness?
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.
My dog has never worn a harness before and is anxious. Any advice?
My dog has never worn a harness before and is anxious. Any advice?
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 — and once they feel the support it provides, many actually get excited when they see it come out.
How long does it take for my dog to get used to the harness?
How long does it take for my dog to get used to the harness?
Most dogs adjust within 2-3 uses.
Start by letting them sniff it before putting it on, reward with treats, and keep the first session short.
By the end of the first week most dogs associate it with going outside and get excited when they see it.
Is this suitable for post-surgery recovery?
Is this suitable for post-surgery recovery?
Yes and many of our customers use it during rehabilitation after TPLO, hip replacement, and spinal surgery.
Always follow your vet's specific guidance on activity levels during recovery — but the harness is designed to support exactly this kind of assisted movement.
The size chart shows my dog is between sizes — which do I order?
The size chart shows my dog is between sizes — which do I order?
Always size up. Both the front and rear harness pieces are independently adjustable so a slightly larger size gives you room to dial in the perfect fit.
A size too small cannot be adjusted.
Does it suit small and large breeds?
Does it suit small and large breeds?
Yes — The Helper comes in three sizes (S, M and L) and fits dogs from 3kg all the way up to 60kg.
The front chest harness and rear hip harness are both independently adjustable, so whether you have a Dachshund or a Bernese Mountain Dog the fit can be dialled in precisely.
