Hi everyone!
I am looking for buy a used Ruffwear Doubleback Harness for my tripawd girl Trina, size small. Since I am from Slovenia I can arrange pick up and shipping.
Thank you in advance,
Sanja
Hi Sanja! I'm so sorry to hear about Trina's recent front leg issues, but it sounds like you are exhausting all avenues! I know you are looking for a Ruffwear harness , but I wanted to let you know that Griffin's surgeon recommends the "Help Em Up" harness which has handles in the front and back, like the Doubleback one. I found the Help Em Up in size small on ebay and with shipping to Slovenia, it seems like it would cost about 100 Euros. Not sure if this helps, but I wanted to pass along the information. Good luck! ~ Stacy
Griffin lived an amazing life for 11 years! Diagnosed with osteosarcoma on March 17, 2020, Griffin's right forelimb was amputated on April 2, 2020. Ten days later he was running and playing fetch! Lung metastasis discovered in July 2020 did not slow down Griffin and he lived joyfully for the next 7 months, passing peacefully at home on February 11, 2021. https://griffin.tripawds.com
Great suggestion! We've had mixed reviews on that harness, but it's worth a try. The Care-Lift is available too, at a lower cost, and may be available via Amazon Europe.

I did try that Help Em Up harness before I got the EZ Dog, and found it confusing and difficult. But that's just me. Always in a hurry. Don't think you can do any better then Ruffwear even if it's a bit more.
My Beautiful Beloved Brownie was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma on February 26, 2019. With all odds against him he lived an additional one year and eight days with amputation, love, and prayer. I was honored to be his mom, and I have never been so proud! He will live forever in my Heart!
