Assistance for short daily tasks
A helping hand for getting up and moving a little further.
When your dog can take some weight but needs help, handles give you a more practical way to assist than repeatedly reaching underneath them. PICK FOR LIFE uses a broad body band with a synthetic fleece lining and Oxford-fabric outer. The benefit is controlled assistance for a short task, with the band positioned where your vet or canine physiotherapist has shown you.

WHAT TO CHECK FIRST
Four things to check before choosing
02
Does the band sit correctly?
Check the fitted position, rubbing points and whether it slips during the intended task.
03
Is toileting unobstructed?
Check genital clearance, particularly for male dogs, and remove or reposition only as instructed.
04
Can you manage the handles?
Consider your height, your dog’s weight and whether another person is needed to assist.
FIT, USE & SAFETY
Check the fit during the task it is for
Measure the space between the roots of the front and rear legs, not chest circumference. Match that space to the chart below, then check the padded band sits where your care team has shown you to support. The weight ranges are sizing guidance, not lifting capacities. Check the handle reach for your chosen size so you can stand comfortably; during a short trial, check for slipping and toileting clearance.
| Size | Pad width | Space between legs | Suggested dog weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 13 cm / 5.1 in | 16–19.8 cm / 6.3–7.8 in | 8–24 lb |
| M | 17.8 cm / 7 in | 20.1–23.9 cm / 7.9–9.4 in | 25–54 lb |
| L | 20.3 cm / 8 in | 24.1–34 cm / 9.5–13.4 in | 55–100 lb |
| XL | 24.9 cm / 9.8 in | 34.3–41.9 cm / 13.5–16.5 in | 101–180 lb |
