  Testimonials  

 

 

 

 

The GingerLead¹ integrates a soft, padded dog sling with a leash & handle to help dogs with weak hind legs walk.  Ideal for recovery after dog knee or hip surgery.  Our dog sling has a soft inner lining, where it comes into contact with your dog’s skin or fur, and a durable exterior.  It is easily used by passing the support sling under the belly and bringing the straps, which extend from each end of the support sling, together with the attached padded handle.  Learn More

 

For additional control, a leash extends from the handle and connects to your dog’s collar with a snap hook, just like any other leash. The straps that extend from the support sling and the leash are adjustable.  The leash is also detachable.   

 

GingerLead dog support slings are available in small and large sizes for both male and female dogs.  Our dogs slings are machine washable and made in the U.S.A.

Dog Sling & Recovery Harness Testimonials

 

 Dog Support Harness by GingerLead used by Dr. Winton for dog hip support

“The unique design of GingerLead allows the human handler to give substantial support to the hindquarters of the dog while maintaining control of the front end, all with one hand. We deal with giant breed dogs, and have found that the GingerLead offers much greater support and control than any combination of slings, towels and leashes. It is especially valuable for young, exuberant dogs who might cause injury to a freshly operated joint without adequate control. Great product!”

“The GingerLead is clearly designed by people who know what it is like to have a dog needing assistance. I find that adjusting of the straps to suit my dog's size, and my arm length, was very easy and intuitive. Materials and construction are high quality, and the leash detaches easily so you can throw the pad in the wash. But the most unique benefit of the GingerLead is that the connection of the handle and the leash gives you security from the front and the back at the same time. If my dog suddenly needs more support, or a squirrel dashes across our path - I can instantly react with either support of the back end or control of the front end - or both - as needed. This has made me more confident walking my dog in the post surgical period, therefore more well-controlled walking and faster recovery.”

“I am a Registered Vet Tech who recently purchased one of your harnesses for our own dogs and we love it! We have a 13 year old Golden with spinal stenosis/hind end weakness; a 10 year old Golden who had an FHO on one leg and the other is hanging on by a thread; and an 8 year old three legged Wheaton mix, who's only back leg gives out from time to time now. We have definitely put this harness to good use! I recommend your harness at least once a week. I truly believe you have an excellent product-also because I have a bad back and your harness is much easier on it. ”

“We feel so lucky to have found GingerLead - it has saved my back and my sanity! We have a beautiful lab named Latte, who has the mind of a pup and the body of an older dog. We found out a couple of months ago that Latte needed Surgery for a torn ACL on her rear knee. We were having an impossible time with Latte and her mobility, especially going up and down steps. I ended up carrying her around everywhere - not easy on a 65 lb dog. Then our Vet told us about GingerLead. What an incredible product. With the GingerLead all I had to do was support Latte, not carry her. What a difference that made. Then Latte had her surgery. Again the GingerLead saved us. I don't think I could have carried Latte around for all of those weeks. I was able to keep Latte by my side and still let her have a little independence. The GingerLead is a lifesaver! I only wish we had found it sooner.”

The GingerLead came on Saturday just as you thought. It's perfect and has worked out amazing. We were using a robe belt or a towel and the GingerLead is SO MUCH BETTER. I had to take Onyx back to the vet hospital for her Fentanyl patch removal and took in the extra brochure you sent me and of course Onyx with the GingerLead. They loved it too. They took front and back copies of your brochure and made a file for it. She said they are telling all their clients in need of having a sling for their pet about GingerLead. I've been telling people about your great GingerLead too.


Thank you so much.

“We received the GingerLead on Friday. Thank you very, very much for the superb delivery. Taylor, our 10-year old Chocolate Lab has adapted extremely well to using and expecting it as a part of her harness configuration to her healing process. 
 
Last Sunday she was completely paralyzed by an FCE, Fibrocartilaginous Embolism. A week later she is definitely en route to a slow but excellent recovery. Using the GingerLead with her chest harness we are able to provide her the support that allows her to realize that she can use her limbs again. We, our friends and neighbors are completely amazed. She has learned that the “contraption” is to her benefit and has adapted to depending upon it for the support and the facility it offers to help her to regain her strength.
 
Thank you, thank you very much.”

“Trenton Pet Hospital also has purchased a "Ginger Lead"! This device acts as a sling to assist in comfortably lifting those pets who are having difficulty with mobility, particularly in their hind end. Whether it is due to illness, or during post-operative care, this Ginger Lead allows your pet's caregiver to safely assist in movement, without causing further damage to the pet, or to the person doing the lifting!”

“Thank you for recently delivering the GingerLead to me in advance of my dog's knee surgery.  Having a 110 pound Great Pyrenees and living on the second floor had me concerned about my ability to take care of him properly after surgery.  Having the sling in advance allowed him to get used to it.  I brought him home from surgery today and it worked out perfectly!  I was able to support and navigate him down and back up the stairs this afternoon by myself, even though he was groggy and uncoordinated from his pain meds.

 

This is a totally awesome solution.  I hope you will drop off some of your brochures at the VRCC hospital.  Adam's surgeon, Dr. Devitt, was quite impressed when I showed it to him.”

“Our dog Dudley just had a tibial plateau leveling osteotomy and has many weeks/months of rehab ahead of him. The most difficult part of this is that we live on a hill and have many steps that we have to go down just to get to the yard. My boyfriend has been carrying him down the steps every time he needs to go to the bathroom, but I am unable to because he is too heavy and I worry about setting him down gently enough. Your gingerlead allows us to take the weight off his back end so that either of us can carefully guide him down the stairs. 

I am so grateful for both your product and your excellent customer service.”

“Thank you for developing such a wonderful device to help following surgery. We have used it continuously since Bubba's release from the hospital and I don't think we could manage without it.  We also want to thank you for going the extra mile to get the GingerLead to us on short notice.  Thank you so much.”

“Thank-you so much for the GingerLead for my 10-year-old Bichon Frise. It is designed perfectly! Just what I needed for Jake after his spinal surgery. We were given a support harness by the vet but it had short handles which was back-breaking for me and it didn't have a lead. The GingerLead is EXCELLENT!! And shipping took only 2 days! I'm thrilled with the product and the speedy service.”

THANK YOU!!!!  I received our Gingerlead last night and it works. We are in a 40 foot RV for the summer and our 18 year old dog feared falling down the RV steps. You could see the fear in his eyes as his back legs "caved" in on him trying to go down the steps. It broke our hearts. We even considered going back to our house for the rest of the summer. When we used the harness, one could see the relief in his eyes.  Again, thank you.”

“This thing was a life saver. It really helped us get her up when she couldn't get herself up (which was anytime she laid down) or tried to get out of a crate. It fits on very comfortably and comes up and around and has a handle so it works as a leash TOO.”
