{"product_id":"osprey-full-body-dog-lift-harness","title":"Osprey Full-Body Dog Lift Harness, Padded Handle, Chest 25–39\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eMost owners realize they need a dog lift harness the moment they try to lift a 70 lb dog off the floor with their hands under his belly, and feel him panic because his back end is swinging loose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOsprey spreads that lift across a padded panel under the chest and belly instead of a strap cutting into soft tissue. The load comes up through reflective webbing to a single padded handle, so you take the weight through your arm and your back stays straight. He is held level, not folded, which is the difference between a dog who tolerates being helped and a dog who fights it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe inside face is breathable mesh, because a dog recovering from surgery wears this several times a day for weeks. The reflective webbing is for the 6am yard trip in January. Two sizes, chest 25 to 32 inches and 33 to 39 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Osprey works for dogs who need the whole body lifted\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePadded chest and belly panel\u003c\/strong\u003e — the lift spreads across the torso, not a strap into soft tissue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne padded handle\u003c\/strong\u003e — the weight comes up through your arm with your back straight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull-body support\u003c\/strong\u003e — covers hind-leg weakness, post-surgery recovery, degenerative myelopathy and dogs who can stand but cannot get started.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBreathable mesh lining\u003c\/strong\u003e — can be worn several times a day for weeks without overheating the skin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReflective webbing\u003c\/strong\u003e — visible on dark early-morning trips outside.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide-release buckle\u003c\/strong\u003e — quick on and off for a dog who has had enough.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo sizes, chest 25–32 in and 33–39 in\u003c\/strong\u003e — retrievers and collies through big Labradors, shepherds and Rottweilers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull-body lift harness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize 1: chest 25 to 32 in.
