- A cost-effective and straightforward mobility aid to send home with pet parents post-op for support instead of the towel.
- In-hospital use during treatment walks for pets with limb weakness, recovering from orthopedic or spinal surgery, FCE, or injury from trauma.
- During rehab exercises such as treadmill patterning, weaving, or cavaletti poles for pets with weak legs or recovering from surgery. Great for assisted standing use with weight shifting while still offering support.
- Sling offers light support during rehabilitation and when additional support is needed during the recovery process only.
