01
Does your dog need support at both ends?
If the front legs are strong and stable, a simpler rear sling may be enough. Full-body support earns its place when control is needed through the chest and pelvis together.
Aubenord recommendation
Help ’Em Up Dog Harness | Full-Body Lifting Support
Two handles when your dog needs help at both ends.
Supporting the chest and hindquarters together can be awkward without a reliable handhold. Help ’Em Up combines fitted front and rear sections, each with its own lifting handle.
The Amazon link selects Medium, Conventional Hip Lift, for 45–80 lb. Smaller and mixed-size dogs need a different selection: use the manufacturer’s size and Hip Lift guides below before ordering.

FULL-BODY LIFTING SUPPORT
Two handles for the moments one sling is not enough.
The useful difference is the second lifting point. The front section and rear Hip Lift give the handler support at the chest and pelvis, while separate adjustment helps with a broad chest or slimmer hindquarters. Fit each end to the dog rather than assuming one size must suit both.
Two-piece supportSeparate front harness and patented Hip Lift support both ends of the dog.
10 adjustment pointsFine-tune the fit around the individual dog rather than relying on one fixed shape.
Mix & Match sizingUseful when the front and rear need different sizes, including broad chests or hindquarter muscle loss.
WHAT TO CHECK FIRST
Four things to check before choosing a full-body lifting harness
02
Can front and rear be fitted independently?
Use weight as a starting point, then check neck, chest and waist. Help ’Em Up offers five main sizes plus Mix & Match combinations.
03
Are the handles practical for your routine?
Dedicated lifting points at both ends can make repeated toileting trips and short transfers easier to control than juggling separate towels or slings.
04
Can every contact point stay comfortable?
Check the armpits, chest, abdomen, pelvis and groin after fitting and after short use. Support should reduce wobble without creating rubbing or pressure.
FIT, USE & SAFETY
Fit the front and rear independently
Help ’Em Up currently lists sizes from X-Small 10–25 lb (4.5–11.3 kg) through X-Large 125–225+ lb (56.7–102+ kg). Weight is the starting point, then measure neck, chest and waist. Broad-chested dogs may need a larger front; dogs with hindquarter atrophy may need a smaller rear. Check every contact point after fitting and after short movement.
THE QUICK DECISION
Is it right for your dog?
Why we like it
The biggest advantage is controlled support at both ends, with enough adjustment to fit dogs whose front and rear proportions do not match neatly.
What to know
It is more substantial than a rear sling and may be unnecessary when only the hind end needs help. The support level should match the dog’s actual handling needs.
Who it may suit
Dogs with significant weakness who need assistance through both the front and rear of the body for standing, toileting or short transfers.
AUBENORD VERDICT
Our pick to investigate when rear-only assistance leaves the front end unsupported.
