Walliered Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 DaVid is probably going to have knee surgery on May 22. I ordered a body sling from Handicapped Pets and it is way too heavy duty for him to wear all of the time after surgery. I need a light weight (breathable) one. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhead Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) Carol Becker Rizzo makes them, custom. She's on GT and FB. She.is associated with the group God's Greyts in Florida. These aren't cheap, but they're perfect for what you need.

Guest Fasave Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I believe Carol sells them on Etsy. I bought one when my guy had foot surgery. He refused to let me use it and figured things out on his own but foot surgery is different than knee. Good luck with your boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walliered Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Thanks Carol, I just ordered one from you. I don't know if he will need it or not, but with a pending knee surgery (both knees), I feel that we will. Nan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this harness being used at the beach and thought it would be greyt for my girl who is 13 1/2 and getting weak in the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dwolfe711 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Carol's slings are awesome! We purchased a small one for our female Allie to use from age 14-15.5 - we then purchased a large one for our male Apollo for his use from age 12-13 - used the small one again for our female Ellie from age 12-13 - and will probably soon need the large one again for our 13yo Ripley. They were used daily and washed often and are still in excellent condition. Plus Carol donates proceeds to greyhound adoption - a win/win for the greys!! A very satisfied customer!

Remolacha Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I had (have) one of Carol's harnesses and a Ruffwear harness for Fletcher. The Ruffwear was great, but was not something I wanted to leave on him full time. Carrol's is great for 24/7 wear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
