The Buddy Up™ Harness gives pets the rear lifting support they need to stay active. Fully compatible with the Walkin’ Wheels dog wheelchair, the rear Buddy Up Harness can be used instead of the standard rear leg rings for comfortable hind end support. The Buddy Up harness is the perfect lifting aid for dogs dealing with progressive mobility loss or to incorporate into a patient’s rehabilitation protocol.

How to Incorporate the Walkin’ Buddy Up™ Rear Harness into Your Practice
Buddy Up™ Rear
Size | Weight Range | Abdomen Girth |
---|---|---|
Small | 30 – 45 lbs | 13″ – 20″ |
Medium | 45 – 65 lbs | 18″ – 24″ |
Large | 65 – 95 lbs | 22″ – 27″ |
XLarge | 95 – 150 lbs | 26″ – 38″ |
Note- The rear Buddy Up™ must be connected to the front Buddy Up™ with the back connection strap to ensure it stays up on your pet when not in the wheelchair.
Is the Buddy Up™ Rear Harness compatible with my client’s wheelchair?
The Buddy Up™ Rear Harness is compatible with the Medium, Medium/Large, and Large Rear Walkin’ Wheels dog wheelchair. The rear harness can be used to replace the pet’s existing leg rings for hind-end support.
For dogs using a Small or Corgi Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair, we recommend the Warrior Rear Harness or Warrior Front Harness.
My patient’s front legs have started to weaken. Is there a compatible front harness?
The Buddy Up™ lift harness can adapt to a pet’s changing mobility. Our fully compatible Buddy Up™ Front Harness can be added to give your client additional front support. Both harnesses can easily clip into the dog’s Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair (sizes Medium and Large).
Can the rear harness be left on for extended periods of time?
When using the Buddy Up™ Rear Harness on its own, the harness should be worn only when the dog needs quick lifting support. When worn without the front Buddy Up™ Harness, the rear support can slip off and could cause injury. If you would like to keep the harness on a dog for extended periods, we recommend purchasing the Buddy Up™ Front Harness as well. The rear harness connects to the front harness to keep it safely in position.
Can pets go to the bathroom while wearing the Buddy Up™ Harness?
Yes, both male and female dogs should be able to comfortably pee and poop while wearing their Buddy Up™ Harness. The rear harness supports your pet from underneath with a leg ring-style saddle, leaving plenty of room in front and behind for the dog to relieve itself cleanly.
