My Zoey is two weeks post amputation of her front right leg. She is doing well and gets her staples out tomorrow. She is a boxer/pit mix. We have stairs everywhere and want to get a harness to help with going down steps. Which harness is recommended for her build? I've looked at several options on this website?
The Ruff Wear WebMaster harness is the choice of many tripawd parents- front and rear amps.
I have used the WebMaster for all of my small dogs, 2 rear amps, one who had two knee surgeries, and one who had mobility problems.
My only caution would be is to measure Zoey carefully. My little dogs have relatively big chests (pugs and pug mix) and they seem to fall between sizes.
Here is a brand new Blog Post about the Harness. At the bottom there are links to several more blog posts about choosing a harness.
