Watson's 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 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!
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 dog'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.
Simplicity. Very simple
to put on and to take off. Quality. 2004 Dog Fancy
Magazine Dog Product of the Year Award. Comfort. Padded and will
not chafe or harm your dog. Reputation. It is
endorsed and sold by a long list of veterinarians. Dignity. Most
importantly, it gives your dog his/her dignity back!
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 dog
owner can control the amount of weight that is being placed on the
animal's hind legs. The dog 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.

product, which grew out of Arnie Costell’s love for his dog and the need
to reduce his dog’s suffering from spinal myelopathy and
arthritis. Price: $34.95.
