Happy New Year From Walkabout Harnesses, LLC Support Harnesses Boots and braces This year promise me when you buy products for your best friend be sure they have been properly tested on the pet population needing them. For example, has the support harness you are thinking about buying for your beloved pet have a proven track record to not cause pressure sores  to sensitive areas such as the groin or abdomen, or put undo pressure on the bladder, causing urinary tract infections. Does the product support your pet in the wrong position? Too far forward, causing the tail end to drop?...

Kissie

Hi Aunt Cathy,Thank you so much for making me some more booties and especially since they are a gift to me ! The two you made recently fit me so good and let me scratch my ear and get around much better than the old ones. I promise I will continue licking them clean every day. You are so nice. I am glad my Daddy (that I love very much) found you so I could stop wearing ugly bandages. Your booties are pretty just like my Daddy tells me I am.Thanks again. Kissie

Gracie and Grandma

Here is the video of my Gracie and my 82-year old mom, Shirley.  Grace was 12 when we brought her in for tieback surgery for her Laryngeal Paralysis issues.  They found a tumor on her spleen and removed it instead of the tieback.  It was benign thank God.  So 6 months later or so in May 2016, she went in for the tieback as her breathing was getting very difficult for her. After 4 surgeries (2 failed tiebacks due to brittle cartiledge and a laryngectomy) then aspiration pneumonia while in the hospital, we thought she wouldn't make it...but she not only...

New Leash on Life

I want to say how much I appreciate your Walkabout Harness product. My 14 year old dog "Bowie" is now bone on bone on both elbows and is very limited in her ability to walk. She was even more limited this summer at our cabin on a lake in the high sierra's. Had it not been for your product, there would have been no way she could have enjoyed her boat rides. Getting her from the pier in and out of the boat with her Walkbout Harness gave her a "new leash on life." I work in the field of...

River the St Bernard

I received the harness and leg brace for my Saint Bernard, River, today.  It is WONDERFUL!  Thank you.  He took to it right away, and even put his foot in the proper placement a few times!  I am so thrilled.  Here is a picture of Riv trying out his new things. I feel so much more confident and hopeful now that he has your products.  Thank you so very much, Stacey Barnum

Kirby

Success!!  The Medium AirLift one fits perfectly!   Plus, only one buckle, so it’s even easier to get on and off!!  The Neoprene has just enough give to allow Kirby’s legs to fit snugly without slipping, and there is no excess material bunching up between his legs.  He even looks more comfortable wearing it! Mary Ann Sorich (Kirby’s mom)
