Why we recommend it
The GingerLead solves a specific problem simply: broad padded rear support plus walking control in one easy-to-position sling. Its integrated lead, extendable handle and stay-on straps can make repeated toileting, standing and short assisted movement easier to manage when rear-only support is appropriate.
Fit & sizing
Use Zoomadog’s current pad-width and handle-length measuring instructions rather than body weight alone. Measure the support area forward from the hind legs; for barrel-chested dogs the retailer advises measuring the belly to the base of the rib cage. Adjust the handle so you can support the dog while standing comfortably upright.

Before you order
This is rear support, not whole-body lifting
The sling supports under the abdomen, so avoid it where abdominal pressure is unsuitable or after relevant abdominal surgery
Check skin, comfort and sling position for bunching or rubbing
For IVDD, use assisted walking only within your veterinary or rehabilitation movement plan
