We've tested this Coodeo harness and are big fans. We love that it's ultralight yet strong, with a wide panel that runs under the chest and trunk for better support. In pets with mobility issues and weakness, you don't want to apply a heavy harness and the Coodeo is super lightweight, soft, and pliable so it conforms well and is comfortable enough to be worn all day. We like that you can apply and fasten the harness without having the pet step into it. Dogs with pain or mobility problems often have trouble lifting their leg to insert into a harness - Coodeo has multiple clips that let you apply the harness around your dog.You can't beat this design and construction for the value. It's very affordable. |
Here's our dog (below) with his Coodeo Dog Lift Harness. He weighs 47 lbs and he has cerebellar abiotrophy, a degenerative condition that makes it difficult for him to walk or control his body movements. This harness enables us to walk him while we support most of his weight. We did have the harness altered a bit for his wide chest (Thera-Paw, Inc. did the alterations). The belly straps are adjustable so they fit him perfectly. |

Socks are meant as light protection, for indoor use. |
To prolong the life of your socks or for limited outdoor use, cover bottoms with duct tape or liquid rubber. Tape and rubber are inexpensive and can be replaced/layered as needed. |
We found that applying the outer safety strap just above the paw then folding the top cuff over the strap helps to hold the sock in place better. Also, you can use a piece of VetWrap or an additional Velcro strap to hold the socks in place. |
For dogs with painful paws, we found that applying a PAWKS Sock on first, then a KoolTail Sock over it as a second layer gives the pet more padding and protection. |
