Made in the U.S.A., GingerLead is ideal for dogs that are recovering from hip and knee surgery, have degenerative joints, or are older and just need extra support on their daily walks. By using the sling you can help control and support your dog’s back, hips and legs. The sturdy exterior is lined with soft padding that won’t chafe or bunch. An integrated handle and leash make it easy to put the GingerLead on your dog and attach it to any collar. Machine-washable.

Instructions for use of the GingerLead Dog Support Sling and Rehabilitation Harness:
- Pass sling under your dog's belly holding the straps on each side of your dog. The handle should always be on the left side of your pet.
- Hold the handle with the attached leash on top. The corduroy lining should be facing down. Bring the free strap under the handle and align it beneath the strip of hook and loop.
- Wrap the handle under and around the loose strap and close the hook and loop ends of the handle together so the loose strap is inside the handle and the leash is on top.
- Attach the leash to your dog's collar with the snap hook and you are ready to go.

- MALE The width of the LARGE male GingerLead is 5.5 inches in the center of the cutout, measured from your dog's genitals forward along his abdomen. If the large is too wide for your dog, and your dog's abdomen exceeds 3.5 inches, order the SMALL harness.

The new Tall size is for tall, lean dogs like Great Danes or Greyhounds. The maximum length of the Tall size is 37 inches, which allows the handle to be closer to a tall dog’s back.
