The
Bottom's Up Leash is a quality, 100% nylon, supportive rear end dog
harness (dog leash) designed to assist animals with broken bones, arthritis,
hip dysplasia, or any other skeletal or muscular problems. It allows
the animal to perform bodily functions (urinate and defecate) unencumbered,
while being supported by a person who lifts a portion of the animal's
weight at a 90-degree angle from the top of the back, in front of the
tail area. It works by taking the animal's weight off its hind legs
while you walk your dog from the rear.
Because the straps have a clearance in design off of the animal's back,
the pressure is distributed under the center of its hind legs. This
gives the most complete support of the rear hips and upper rear legs.
By lifting slightly on the leash, the pet owner can control the amount
of weight that is being placed on the animal's hind legs. The animal
will still be going through the walking motion and will still be applying
pressure on its legs, so the leash acts as an effective therapeutic
device.
This leash is adjustable in size (one-size-fits-all) and has been used
for dogs as heavy as 135 pounds and as small as Dachshund's and Lhasa
Apso's. The Sheepy Sleeves are soft, padded sleeves which fit over the
leg loops on the leash to add to the overall comfort. The sleeves are
washable and are made of 100% Neoprene. This leash will not chafe your
dog!
