I just saw this harness and wondered if maybe it would be an option due to the Help Em Up not holding up well?  Maybe this in combination with the Ruffwear harness ?(for use for rear leg amputees).

Oh!  But just saw this page - they'll do an amputee harness too!  Cool!  Hmmm!!!  Time for Admin to try one out? 😉

Tracy, good suggestion. We've seen it before but have been hesitant to pursue a review. In all honesty, this harness looks awkward to us. The handles seem bulky; where do they go when the dog walks? Also, the rear end support one seems to cover the dogs butt to the point of causing either constipation like poor Fortis, or creating an area for a nasty mess of poo buildup.

But maybe we'll give it a try, thank you so much for the reminder.
