So Miller is now a front limb (his right leg) amputee - he has a luxating patella in his right knee (the surgery failed) and pretty bad hip dysplasia - he's getting around OK but I would love to have a harness I could use so I could help him when needed.

These were the two I was looking at:

Ruff Wear Web Master

 

OR

 

Help em up harness!

Are you aware we sell various harnesses with detailed product reviews and demo videos in the Tripawds Gear blog ? The Ruff Wear Web Master is the most popular one we recommend for most Tripawds, and we no longer offer the Help 'em Up.

Check out these posts for more information:

I used the RuffWear Harness for Tazzie (she also lost her RF leg) and it worked great!

Thanks for the feedback Pam!

For those who may not know, Pam is a vet. Don't miss our video of her three legged Mastiff Tazzie who fought a valiant cancer battle, and her canine amputation and recover tips.

I would recomend Ruff Wear, that is whats Loa is using, and she is doing great!!! It is super helpful getting out and in of the car, going up and down stairs, and helping her get back up when she falls. It also has some REALLY cute colors! 

Ruff Wear is the way to go!!!
