SteadyMate Rear-Lift Support Harness — For Senior & Recovering Dogs
Help them up. Every time they need it.
When an older dog starts struggling to stand on hard floors, hesitating at the stairs, or needing a boost into the car, most owners wait — and the first bad fall is usually what forces the decision. The SteadyMate Rear-Lift Support Harness lets you give your dog a gentle lift from the hips, before the fall, not after it.
Why it works
- Lifts from underneath the hips — supports the back end where age hits first (arthritis, hip dysplasia, muscle loss), without pulling on sensitive joints.
- Padded grab handle — one smooth motion to help them stand, climb stairs, or get into the car.
- Kind to your back too — you lift with your legs and the handle, not by bending and scooping a 30 kg dog off the floor.
- Stays out of the way — lightweight tear-resistant Oxford fabric with soft lining; goes on and off in seconds, machine washable.
- Toilet-friendly design — supports the hips while leaving full clearance for your dog to relieve themselves.
Made for
Senior dogs losing rear-leg strength • recovery after knee (TPLO/ACL), hip or spinal surgery • arthritis and hip dysplasia • dogs that slip on hardwood, tiles and floorboards.

FAQ
Can my dog wear it all day?
It's designed for assisted moments — standing up, stairs, walks, car trips. For extended wear, loosen the straps when your dog lies down and give them breaks.
Can my dog go to the toilet wearing it?
Yes — the support sits under the hips with full clearance underneath.
Will it hurt their joints?
The lift comes from the padded underside panel, spreading weight across the hindquarters rather than a single strap line. If your dog has a diagnosed condition, check with your vet on assisted-lifting technique.
How do I clean it?
Machine wash cold, air dry.
