dbullwinkel Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I saw someone mentioned this harness for older greys with bad backs, etc. I ordered on for Missy. The description says can be worn 24/7. I am wondering if anyone has one of these and does their dog wear it all the time. Seems to make sense. I am just not sure if it will annoy her. thanks. http://www.etsy.com/listing/78900259/greyhound-assistance-harness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greysmom Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Dude wore his WebMaster harness 24/7 after his amputation. It fits very well, is VERY sturdy and well made, and seems to help at the right balance points for a greyhound. I could lift him like a suitcase if I needed to. It's made for dogs to go hiking and for search-and-rescue so it should last a while. My biggest problem was Dude chewed through the front straps when he was bored, but my other girl who wore it after being hospitalized left it alone completely.

montgomery2524 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 We used the one from the etsy shop for our Toby. He wore it 24/7. We used it to lift him from laying to standing position and to hold him while he went to the bathroom. It worked great for us.
