 Does
your dog have problems walking?
The Bottom's Up Leash is a therapeutic
rear end support harness that helps dogs
who have problems walking. Canine
arthritis, spinal myelopathy, hip
dysplasia, and surgeries are just some
of the problems that affect dogs and
their walking. Senior Pet Supplies and
Arnie Costell is the inventor of the
Bottom's Up Leash. It was all done for
his special one, Watson.
No more towels under their belly. No
more inability to go to the bathroom. No
more bad backs for you. Your dog's
self-confidence and dignity will return.
Your anxieties will be lowered.
The Bottom's Up Leash has won awards
from Dog Fancy and the Global Pet Expo.
It is been featured on CBS, and radio.
The Bottom's Up Leash has made tens of
thousands of dogs and their owners much
happier.
The passion and love that created this
is also the driving force for
continuation and spreading the word that
something out there is now available.
VOTED #1 REAR SUPPORT HARNESS IN THE
INDUSTRY
What
is the Bottom's Up Leash?
The Bottom's Up Leash helps you help
your dysplastic, arthritic,
post-surgical, or otherwise disabled
dog move more comfortably and
safely. The leash works by
supporting a portion of the dogs
hind legs while they walk, or
attempt to go up/down stairs. Unlike
a towel under the belly, our product
allows your dog to eliminate and
keeps you from having to stoop over.
For quick cleanup, remove only the
padded neoprene sleeves and wash
with soap and water.
The Bottom's Up
Leash is a quality, 100% nylon,
supportive rear end dog harness (dog
leash) designed to assist animals with
broken bones, arthritis, hip dysplasia,
or any other skeletal or muscular
problems. It allows the animal to
perform bodily functions (urinate and
defecate) unencumbered, while being
supported by a person who lifts a
portion of the animal's weight at a
90-degree angle from the top of the
back, in front of the tail area. It
works by taking the animal's weight off
its hind legs while you walk your dog
from the rear.
Because the straps
have a clearance in design off of the
animal's back, the pressure is
distributed under the center of its hind
legs. This gives the most complete
support of the rear hips and upper rear
legs. By lifting slightly on the leash,
the pet owner can control the amount of
weight that is being placed on the
animal's hind legs. The animal will
still be going through the walking
motion and will still be applying
pressure on its legs, so the leash acts
as an effective therapeutic device.
This leash is
adjustable in size (one-size-fits-all)
and has been used for dogs as heavy as
125 pounds and as small as Dachshund's
and Lhasa Apso's. The Sheepy Sleeves are
soft, padded sleeves which fit over the
leg loops on the leash to add to the
overall comfort. The sleeves are
washable and are made of 100% Neoprene.
This leash will not chafe your dog!

FAQ'S
How does
the Bottom's Up Leash work?
The Bottom's Up Leash works by taking a
portion of the weight off your pet's
hind legs. Your cat/dog will still go
through the walking motion, but you will
be supporting a portion of their weight.
The dog leash (dog harness) works a lot
like a rock climbers harness. Click

home video of the Bottom's Up Leash.
What
inspired this product?
The inspiration for this dog harness,
was a Sheep Dog named "Watson" who began
suffering from arthritis and hip
dysplasia when he was 15 years old.
Are
there different sizes?
The leash/harness is adjustable in size
and will fit any dog between 12 and 125
pounds. One size fits all.
Does
this dog leash / dog harness come in
different sizes ?
Our dogleash fits dogs of all sizes. We
have never had a problem with our leash
not fitting a certain sized dog. If your
dog weighs less than 25 pounds we
recommend that you use the two slide
clips that we will ship with your leash
order. These slide clips are used to
adjust the size of the leg loops to the
desired size. We have many customers
that have Lhasa Apsos and Daschunds and
the leashes work great. Please click
here for our product photo gallery which
will illustrate how our leash might
fit/look on your dog.
Do I
need to use a "Front Leash" in addition
to the Bottom's Up Leash ?
You do not have to, but some dogs are
more comfortable with having both
leashes. It will not affect results if
you decide to use a front leash with
your Bottom's Up Leash. The front leash
acts as a guide.
Will I
need to be able to lift my dog's weight
in order to be able to use the Bottom's
Up Leash ?
No. In actuality, you are only lifting a
portion of the weight of the dog's rear
hind-quarters. Click here to see a
home video regarding our product.
Will the
Bottom's Up Leash work if my dogs front
legs are not stable?
No. Your dogs front legs will need to be
stable in order to use our leash (dog
harness).
My dog
just had back surgery, will the Bottom's
Up Leash help during the recovery
period?
Many of our customers have successfully
used our leash to support a portion of
their dogs weight following back
surgery.
Does the
Bottom's Up Leash come in different
colors?
No. Our Sheep Dog "Watson" looked great
in red, so this is the only color we are
producing at this time. We do not have
any future plans to offer our dog leash
/ dog harness in any other colors.
Is it
difficult to get my dog into the
Bottom's Up Leash?
Absolutely not. Once the dog realizes
this leash helps them walk, he/she will
be eager to help you place it on them.
It is easy as placing a head-end leash
on an animal.
Will the
Bottom's Up Leash chafe my dog's skin?
No. The Sheepy Sleeves (padded sleeves)
which fit over the leg loops are made of
Neoprene and are very soft. Our dog
harness will not chafe your pet.
