Hind-end support apparatus for dogs

摘要

A hind-end support system for dogs with hind-end disabilities. The system comprises a handle strap, an under belly support, a back strap, and a left leg strap and a right leg strap. The handle strap is utilized to pull the lower abdomen and the hind legs of the dog upward so the hind-end of the dog can be lifted up and/or carried forward by the owner. The lower abdomen of the dog is supported by the under belly support, whereas the left hind leg and the right hind leg of the dog are strapped and supported by the left leg and the right leg straps, respectively. The back strap is utilized to connect the handle strap to the under belly support and the leg straps. Lengths of the straps are all made adjustable via attachment means such as buckling mechanisms, D-rings, swivel lobster clasps and tri-glide slides.
