355002 Bottom's Up Leash - Red $41.99  

 

The Bottom's Up Leash™ helps you help your geriatric, hip-dysplastic, arthritic, post-surgical, or otherwise disabled dog move more comfortably and safely. The leash works by supporting a portion of the dog's hind legs while they walk, or attempt to go up/down stairs. Unlike a towel under the belly, this product allows your dog to eliminate and keeps you from having to stoop over. For quick clean-up, remove only the padded neoprene sleeves and wash with soap and water. Fits most dogs from 11 to 125 lbs.

The Bottom's Up Leash is a quality, 100% nylon, supportive rear end dog harness (dog leash) designed to assist animals with broken bones, arthritis, hip dysplasia, or any other skeletal or muscular problems. 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 are designed to have clearance above 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 125 pounds and as small as Dachshunds and Lhasa Apsos. The Sheepy Sleeves are soft, padded sleeves which fit over the leg loops on the leash to add to the overall comfort. The sleeves are washable and are made of 100% Neoprene. This leash will not chafe your dog!
