Get-a-Grip Harness™ or Pet Support Suit™:

Which one is right for your dog?
The AST Support Suit is a dog support sling designed to help lift a dog and provide support and control of a dog that needs help getting up, walking or moving up or down stairs. It is also great for active dogs when hiking over rocky or uneven terrain. The AST Support Harness combines attributes of a chest harness with those of a body sling to create an end-to-end lift system that fits well and lifts the whole dog. The AST Pet Support Suit gives disabled dog owners a way to help dogs walk after surgery or help dogs upstairs, and the AST dog harness is also a great lift aid for arthritic dogs.Get a Grip on your dog with Animal Suspension Technology's new Get-a-Grip Dog Lift Harness. The Get-a-Grip lift harness is designed to snap on around the dogs head and forelegs, so, like the AST Pet Support Suit, there is no need to feed your dog through loops of strap. Get a Grip dog harnesses are excellent canine mobility aids and make a great dog first aid harness - Put one in your first aid kit or take a Get-a-Grip along while hiking with your dog. If you want extra control over your dog while traveling, go with AST and Get-a-Grip! Veterinarians, canine rescue workers, humane societies and dog boarders and groomers can all use the Get-a-Grip. The broad range of fit makes it a great choice for anyone that needs to move a dog, active or injured.

“Which one should I get for my dog?”

 

The answer depends on your needs. Generally, if you are going to be using the harness occasionally, for recreation, travel, first aid or short recovery from injury or surgery, the Get-a-Grip Harness™ will meet all of your needs.

 

If you are looking at longer-term use, or if you have a full flight or more of stairs to traverse, you might wish to consider the Pet Support Suit™. Also, if your dog has a very long or short torso, or a very thin belly compared to the chest, and you’ve had trouble getting a good fit with other products, the Pet Support Suit™ is the one for your dog.

Fit: Get-a-Grip Harnesses are available in three standard sizes. Pet Support Suits are custom built to your dog’s measurements.

Wrap: Though the Grip and Suit share the same strap arrangement, the Support Suit has a wrap-around flap secured with Velcro®, to provide additional support and stability, while the Grip is “topless”, with only straps over the dog’s back.

Handles: Handles on the Get-a-Grip are permanently attached at a fixed length. Large size Grip Harnesses have four individual loop handles, and are designed to be used by two or more people. Handles on the Support Suit attach with nickel-plated clips, and are adjustable. Support Suit-style clip-On Handles are available as an accessory for the Grip Harness.

Color:    The color of the Grip is determined by the size. When ordering a Support Suit you can choose from Blue, Green, Yellow, Red or Black.

Time to ship: Grip Harnesses are ready to ship when ordered. Support Suits are usually ready to ship about three working days after we receive measurements.

Materials: Grips and Suits feature rust-proof welded support rings at all four corners, and super strong 800lb-per-inch poly strap.

Optional Shoulder Strap: Our Over-the-Shoulder Strap works like a shoulder strap on a duffel bag or large suitcase, to help you carry some of your dogs weight with your shoulder.

X-Belly Straps: Grips and Suits both have x-belly straps that cross underneath the torso to spread support and provide lift for the whole body.

Abdominal Cut-out: Grips and Suits both have a cut-out in the abdominal section to accommodate male anatomy and relieve the pressure on the soft underbelly.

The AST Dog Harness is also a great harness for blind dogs. This view also shows the abdominal cut-out, which allows male dogs to urinate with the harness on and reduces the pressure on the soft underbelly of the dog wearing it.Text Box: Both Get-a-Grip Harnesses™ and Pet Support Suits™ have crossed support straps underneath and an abdominal cut-out, to relieve pressure on the soft belly and accommodate male dogs.
