A rear-only harness helps the back legs but does nothing for the strain that's landing on the shoulders and neck. The Body Lift spreads the load across the whole dog, and the rigid stays support the spine itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's also what most vet practices reach for when moving a large or paralysed dog from the car into the clinic — controlled, whole-body support rather than a scramble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich harness?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Lift\u003c\/strong\u003e — whole body and spine.
