We have three harness available. They are all large sized. We have were given the get a grip from Lori and Angel Ty. We used this for Snoop. Even though Snoop was 74 lbs it did work for him ( we were getting a medium but never had the chance to use, that would of been ideal for his body). I found this to have wonderful support and distributed support evenly from front to back of torso. Good getting in and out car and help walking.
We also have a ruff wear harness
l/xl available. This we used when out walking before we became ill.
I also have a harness called Help Me Up size large.For us this harness didn't work due to Snoop having a mass in his pelvis which caused pain. It may be a good harness for a dog larger than Snoop and good for lifting in and out of cars, up stairs etc.
if anyone is in need you can PM me and we will send it forward to you.
Esther and her Angel Snoop

You rawk Esther!!
Christine... with Franklin in her heart♥
Franklin, he was the Happiest Dog on Three Legs! Diagnosed 09/26/2012 with Osteosarcoma, amputated 12/4/2012. Had a wonderful 5 1/2 months painfree until he ran for the Bridge on 5/15/2013. Always in my heart, and always a guardian angel of my pack... You can follow his Tripawd Adventures, before and after, in my blog, Frank'n'Farter!
And Angel Athena. The harness was passed to Ty from her Mom! What a community! It is so neat how our pups's legacy continues on through Tripaweds. Lori and Ty
TY GUY, Best Black Lab ever! Diagnosed and had amp in January, 2014. Kicked MRSA's butt. Earned his angel wings on April 16, 2014. Run Free my boy and don't forget a shoe. Ty is a proud member of the " April Angels". Ty sent us Daryl, a Tripawd rescue in Sept. of 2016. Daryl is 5 +or -. We are also Pawrents to Chandler, a Border Collie mix who is 15 and 1/2, Lucy, a Corgi who is 7, 2 minis, 2 horses, and a feisty cat named Zoe. Zoe had a non skeletal Osteosarcoma removed in July 2015. No Chemo, she was at least 16. She is going strong although she is now completely blind. She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.
Update on harnesses.
All three were sent to Mardi, hopefully one of them will do the job!
So sweet Esther, thank you.

I'm pretty sure I ended up with some of these harnesses. Unfortunately they arrived on the day of Bailey earning her wings. The one looks like a therapy harness maybe you would use in a water therapy there's not way to hold onto it. I will take pictures and post them here.
Thanks so much for the generosity, I know Bailey would have love the one that would have cushioned her belly because her body is so long the ruffgear seemed to hurt her abdomen.
But thank you so kindly I received these harnesses I believe. I will indeed pass on.
Hugs,
Tracy and Bailey
Maybe these were not the ones I received... 
but someone sent me harnesses.
I need to look at the box and the label.
Thanks for the kind hearts on here.
Hugs,
Tracy and Bailey Girl
