Tripawds Three Legged Dog & Cat Forum Archives

Hello:

I would like to offer a barely used AST Get A Grip Harness in Size M to someone whose Tripawd may be experiencing some mobility challenges.  We used this for Pofi nearly 6 months post amp when we thought his sudden back legs weakness was due to injury (rather than another nerve sheath tumor now in his spine), and it is incredibly effective for getting a larger dog up and out for potty or up stairs.  It is offered in Pofi's memory and also Bentley's.  We used it for Pofi for about 10 days before when his back legs were still working and even when they stopped.  I washed it and sent it to Karen for Bentley who was having the same problem, but it osteosarcoma had shown up in his spine, too.  

Pofi and Bentley were both tall, large handsome Tripawd warriors  - Bentley a Doberman and Pofi a Malamute x Greyhound, so don't let the size "M" fool you - this is for a dog their size or a GSD or Golden Retriever sized dog.  Pofi weighed 75 pounds and when he was still able to use his back legs, I could use this harness alone to support him walking through the house, up and down a few stairs and out to potty and back.

Let me know if this could help your recent Tripawd or any medium to large sized dog with a mobility challenge.  Has the optional removable handles and permanent handles still attached.
