About this product

When your dog is struggling to get up, move around after surgery, or manage day-to-day life with a neurological or musculoskeletal condition, the Ortocanis Abdominal Support Sling gives you a safe, comfortable way to lend a helping hand — without straining your own back in the process.

This veterinary-grade support sling wraps securely around your dog's abdomen and mid-region, providing the lift and balance needed for dogs recovering from conditions like thoracolumbar herniated discs, spinal surgery, or hind limb weakness. It is ideal for medium to large breeds who need gentle, consistent support during rehabilitation or ongoing mobility challenges.

Designed and trusted by veterinary professionals across Europe, Ortocanis products are built with both patient welfare and carer practicality in mind. The ergonomic handle allows you to guide and steady your dog with minimal effort, protecting your posture during those multiple daily assists.

Whether your dog is on the road to recovery or living with a long-term condition, this sling is a practical, compassionate tool to help maintain quality of life and support their independence.

Instructions for use

1. Lay the sling flat and position it beneath your dog's abdomen, just behind the front legs and in front of the hind legs. 2. Bring both sides up around your dog's torso and secure the fastenings snugly — firm enough to support, but not so tight as to restrict breathing. 3. Hold the handle or strap above your dog's back to provide lift and balance as they walk, stand, or navigate stairs. 4. Use during assisted movement and supervised activity only. Remove the sling when your dog is resting or unsupervised. 5. Check the fit regularly and adjust as needed. Consult your vet for guidance on incorporating the sling into your dog's rehabilitation programme.

Helpful answers for choosing gentle skin, itch and allergy support for your dog.

Is this sling suitable for all dog sizes?

The Ortocanis Abdominal Support Sling is designed for medium to large breed dogs. It is available in multiple sizes to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. We recommend measuring your dog's girth and referring to the size guide before purchasing to find the best match for your pet.

Can I use this sling after my dog's spinal surgery?

Yes, this sling is specifically designed to assist dogs recovering from spinal surgery, including thoracolumbar disc herniation procedures. It provides gentle, stable support to the abdomen and hind region, reducing the risk of falls and helping your dog regain confidence during rehabilitation. Always consult your vet before beginning post-operative use.

How long should my dog wear the sling each day?

The sling is intended for supported activity such as walking, standing, and rehabilitation exercises — not for continuous wear. Use it during assisted movement and remove it when your dog is resting. Your vet or veterinary physiotherapist will be able to advise on a suitable usage routine based on your dog's specific condition.

Will the sling cause discomfort or restrict my dog's movement?

The Ortocanis sling is made from soft, breathable, veterinary-grade materials designed to be gentle against your dog's skin and coat. It supports rather than restricts, allowing natural movement of the limbs while providing the lift your dog needs. Ensure correct sizing and fitting to maximise comfort and effectiveness.
