VOTED #1 REAR SUPPORT HARNESS IN THE INDUSTRY
 
What is the Bottom's Up Leash?
The Bottom's Up Leash helps you help your dysplastic, arthritic, post-surgical, or otherwise disabled dog move more comfortably and safely. The leash works by supporting a portion of the dogs hind legs while they walk, or attempt to go up/down stairs. Unlike a towel under the belly, our product allows your dog to eliminate and keeps you from having to stoop over. For quick cleanup, remove only the padded neoprene sleeves and wash with soap and water.

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 125 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!

  • SIZING INSTRUCTIONS USING SIZING CHART

  • Download and print the All-Terrain Dog Shoe Sizing Chart (Microsoft Word format). In order to view and print the sizing chart you will need a copy of Microsoft Word. If you are having trouble printing this sizing chart, you can determine the proper size by following the alternative sizing instructions below.

    Place the All-Terrain Dog Shoe Sizing Charton the ground, then place one of your dog's front paws on the chart with the heel of the paw against the thick black line. Be sure your dog is placing their normal weight on the paw that you are measuring. Choose the appropriate size shoe based on the information provided on the sizing chart.

    Alternative Sizing Instrutions (No Sizing Chart):
    You may accurately determine the proper shoe size by following the instructions below even if you do not have a sizing chart printed out.

    1. Stand your dog on a blank piece of paper and trace the outline of their front paw, including their toenails.
    2. Be sure your dog is placing their normal amount of weight on the paw that is being measured and traced.
    3. Measure the length of the paw outline from the heel to the end of the toenails.
    4. Choose the shoe size that fits the entire paw including toenails and excluding the fur.
    5. A snug fit is best - boots that are too large may slip off during rigorous activity.
    6. Refer to the dimensions listed below in order to choose the proper dog shoe size.

    Here are some tips how to introduce dog boots quickly and painlessly.
     

    First off, put all four shoes on your dog.  If you only put one or two then it's the same thing is you walking with one sneaker.

      Why some dogs are bothered by the boots is that they are conspicuously there. Something foreign is on the dogs paws. The best way to teach a dog to adjust to dog boots is to distract him and get him walking. Something he really wants to get to does the trick. A dog friend, a treat or his other dog owner coming home can get the dog walking and not fully focusing on the boots.

     Keep your focus off the boots in front of your dog. Showing the dog the boots and directing a lot of your attention on them will likely direct the dog's attention on them. Excitingly showing the dog the boots very likely will make the dog think he has 4 new toys to play with!

     Don't introduce the boots to your dog and take him right down the stairs. Falling or fear of falling is not a good first impression!

    Dogs and people love attention! As long as it's positive attention. If your dog looks cute or funny go ahead and enjoy, but laughing and laughing at are two different things. If the dog boots make the dog the butt of the joke then he's going to know and he's understandably going to hate the boots. If you want your dog to be indifferent to wearing dog boots then you should act indifferent to the dog boots.
