A life and back saver for dog, vet, & me

My big guy is 12+ years old and has some arthritis and weakness from a growing abdominal tumor. He is currently in Vet Med acupuncture and is eating home cooked food which has helped him a lot. The harness has made it possible to help him in and out of the RV. Climbing a flight of stairs is easy now with a little lift from me on the handle. My vet appreciates how easy it is for the handler to lift him and move him around. Life is much easier and he is happier because of this harness./////Yes

Far better

I have both the black and red harness for my pup, well 80lb Glab. Got the harness since my dog is a service animal, so I have added that information to the harness. The harness is some what interesting, trying to figure out a good fit. I think this harness looks far superior to anything else on the market for service animals. Maybe offer some special for pre-sewn for working dogs?/////Yes

Very well crafted, easy to fit

I work for an organization that trains and places assistance dogs for individuals with disabilities, and am on an eternal search to find the "perfect" harness for a dog to comfortably pull a wheelchair. I've tried many, and returned almost as many. The Web Master harness, so far, may not be perfect but is the closest thing I've found - it adjusts to fit snugly on a variety of dogs (very important!), doesn't restrict movement, doesn't chafe under the front legs, and keeps pressure off of the trachea. The handle is unique in terms of pulling a wheelchair; most handles are oriented perpendicular to the dog, rather than parallel, however we've found that it actually has resulted in less "crabbing" and a nicer (and healthier/safer) movement overall. We've wrapped the handle to make it a bit softer to grasp and hold for long periods of time. At least for now, this is my new favorite harness, by a long shot - something especially impressive, given that it wasn't at all designed to be used in this manner (as far as I know)./////Yes

GREAT!!

I love this harness. It has been an absolute life saver in helping stabilize a giant dog as he recooperated from numerous surgeries. He has Wobblers Syndrome and as a result, walks with an unsteady gait. The handle allows me to support my dane as he maneuvers slick floors (at the vets) and stairs. I was able to use the harness to directly lift up my 140 lb dog from the floor when he couldn't stand up on his own. Excellent to use while rehabbing dogs from acl surgeries. I recommend everyone to have one of these harnesses for the versatility. /////Yes

Excellent product but doesn't quite fit

Standard poodles are tough to fit in a harness. They have very deep narrow chests and relatively short bodies. My boy is very close to the breed standard in conformation, and is 60 lbs and 26" at the shoulder. He has had cervical disc surgery twice and needs a good harness. I bought the Medium from The Waggle Store two years ago after his first surgery and it was so long in the body it interfered with his privates. I had to cut off the back part of the harness to use it but it was still too big even when I adjusted the shoulders and breast strap as small as possible. This time I bought the Small. This one fits almost everywhere except the girth strap which barely makes it around his chest even adjusted to the end. If it were two inches longer it would work and I'd have a tiny adjustment left. THEN you could say it fits all dogs. In any case it's an excellent harness, well worth the price, and will fit NEARLY all dogs./////Yes

Comfortable, adjustable, easy to use

Our dog had spinal surgery last month and the neurosurgeon told us to get one of these harnesses. She said it was the only harness she knew of that was actually designed for a dog's comfort and protection. The strength of the harness back and the well-padded straps distributes the pull of the leash across his body so that the pull force does not impact his spine. We have been able to take our dog for walks without stressing about him lunging forward toward the occassional squirrel or slipping in the snow and ice. Our 40 lb Baja mutt has a very strange shape, but we were able to adjust the harness to fit him beautifully. We called the Ruffwear Customer Service to figure out what size to order and they were very helpful and accurate. One great benefit we really appreciate is the ease/quickness of getting our dog in and out of the harness. We have to come home from work several times a day to walk him and we need to be as efficient as possible with the short time available. The quality of the materials, design, and craftsmanship is incredible and we are very proud that Ruffwear is an Oregon company! /////Yes

my dog/best friend was recently diagnosed with osteosarcoma and had to have his right front leg amputated. at 9 years old he is adjusting amazingly well...and this harness has really helped. i enables me to help him in and out of the car, and up longer stair cases. i'm not sure who feels more secure with him wearing it...him or me - but it has made this difficult transition easier for both of us. /////yes

We love this harness

We adopted 2 beagles so that means they got loose at one point in their lives. We go camping and I needed a harness that was pretty much escape proof and the WebMaster is the perfect one. Louise did get loose one time while we were camping not because she got out of her harness but for the fact her tie-out broke. I ran through several camp sites after her and she ended up in a small wooded area. What helped me to get her so quickly was that I was able to grab her by the handle on the WebMaster harness. My heart was beating so fast but I was able to hold on to her by that handle. I thanked God and Ruffwear all the way back to our campsite. Another nice thing about the WebMaster harness is when we are in a crowd, we can pick up the girls when we need to get out of a tight situation. Plus it was great when Daisy had surgery on her front paw. We were able to pick her up since she couldn't jump./////Yes...we do all of the time.

After having lost my dog once with a regular harness, this one iswonderful. My dog walks backwards quickly and walked out of his oldharness!! There's no way he can do that with this one.

My 14 yr old dog has a neurological condition and is losing feeling/movement in his back legs. This harness is just wonderful. The handle is in the perfect place for me to help him up or guide him when he walks with no problem at all. He wears it 24/7 and there are no rub points at all. It washes really well. Thanks for giving my old guy (and me) a better quality of life./////Yes.

Perfect for tripawds! LOVE IT!

We were recommended this harness when our dog Dixie had amputation surgery on her front left leg. Dixie wears it when out and about, camping or hiking. The harness just gives her overall support while navigating out in the world. We love the handle — it helps us get her in and out of taller cars and up and down rocks when hiking. Thank you for making such a wonderful product!/////yes

Perfect!

I bought this harness so I could safely take my dog out on my rollerblades. I get to skate and she gets to run to her hearts content. The harness means that she doesn't get jerked around by her collar and the color and reflective material helps people see us coming. Everywhere we go people comment on what an amazing harness it is. The handle is so convenient too. We loved it so much we bought the Approach Pack for her for Christmas./////Definitely!!!

Fit is off

I have purchased the Webmaster Harness as well, and it hasn’t worked very well for my lab. It stops him from walking because the chest padded strap seems too long and bothers his arms. Moreover, the harness moves too much, unless I strap tight, which he doesn’t like. I elongated the front strap so that the padded strap is behind his arms, but the rear strap across moves too close to his penis. The length from nech to tail is 21”, so that the medium should fit him, but I haven’t yet found a way to position this harness well./////yes

Pretty sweet harness

I got this harness for my aussie that is now 8 months old. It helps with training as the handle works well to correct the dog or grab her quickly when she tries to stand up out of a command. Also it is awesome for lifting my pup in and out of the car as she is not supposed to jump so much until she is an adult. With the help of your customer service (very nice btw) I decided on a size small which fits her well (she weighs about 40 lbs) and still has some room to spare to adjust with growing. I have two suggestions to improve the product: (1) Please make the strap that runs between the legs and attaches to the chest piece a bit longer (1-2 in), so the harness can be adjusted well away from the "armpits". My dog is skinny but tall,the small fits well everywhere BUT if she packs on some more muscle, I could see THAT strap becoming an issue (we have room to spare in all other straps). (2) maybe the buckles could have some kind of extra atatchment for the belly straps as they tend to loosen up when the dog is lifted or held back.Other than that great product. Fits well, looks awesome, very sturdy (holds up to bites and tugs from other dogs through playing sessions), reflective piping is great. It is going to work really well for hiking and scrambling which originally sold me on this harness. When my pup is older, I will definitely purchase one of your dog packs for her./////yes

Not good but the best out there

I bought a med & Lrg. of the harness for my 15 yr. old boxer who is having a hard time standing up by himself. I found it to be better than the other vet or internet lifting harnesses that I got. The only problem is that the back under strap is not wide enough for support on his floating ribs. Some kind of support between both under straps would be reassuring. It is also too close to his penis. The outwardhound harness is less than $20 & great for my purpose but it is only available in an Xlarge size./////yes

Excellent

I'm so glad I found your products. My 8 1/2 yr old Weim has a neurological condition that makes it difficult for her to get up sometimes and not fall over while pooping/peeing. This harness is great. It allows me to pick up the 65 pounder off the floor with no problems and helps me hold her while she potties. I also got the Bark N Boots with the smooth soles for helping her walk on the tile floors from a local vendor you use in Altamonte Springs. They are great also. Thank you for making products that work so well and give our aging and injured fur kids a productive quality of life! /////yes

Best harness I've ever used!

I have two 70+ pound shepherd mixes and I've used my share of harnesses trying to get those two to walk nicely without pulling, biting, chewing, slipping out of, and otherwise destroying and escaping from their harnesses. Well, I'm happy to say I've found that harness!I've had this harness for a long time with my older dog, and when it was time to put my puppy into a big-girl harness I knew this was the one to get. When it arrived I noticed several differences from the old harness: reflective material, reinforced handle, metal ring instead of plastic, more and better padding, and a more refined shape and size. I put it on my puppy and it fits perfectly once I have everything adjusted and we enjoy our walks more than ever!The only recommendation I would make is to make it in more colors, hopefully to match the flat-out leash and hoopie collar. The reason being is that I color coated my dogs, and the older one is red (red harness, leash, etc) and the puppy is green. So I had to choose between red (older dog's color) and black (my puppy is completely black which would be a safety issue to have a black harness at night). In the end I chose the red harness and a green leash,but if they came out with a matching green harness I would buy it in a heartbeat.Overall, an amazing product and a lifesaver for me and my girls!/////yes
