Getting up shouldn't be the hardest part of his day.
A padded lifting harness with handles front and rear, so you can take his weight on the stairs or into the car without grabbing at his collar or wrecking your own back. Strap widths, padding and weight rating published for every size.

He struggles to stand up
A padded harness you can leave on, with handles where you actually need them.
Support harnesses →The back legs go first
A rear sling takes the weight at the hips, so you lift standing upright rather than bent double.
Slings →Slipping on hard floors
Grip on the paw or the floor, along the routes he walks every day.
Traction & grip →Accidents at night
Washable kit that makes one bad night laundry rather than a crisis.
Night-time care →Find his size in one measurement
Girth, just behind the front legs at the widest point of the ribcage. A piece of string against a ruler is fine as breed and weight are not reliable enough on their own.

A strap with a handle is not a lifting harness
The difference shows up the first time you take his full weight on a staircase. Narrow webbing digs in, thin padding slides, and a harness you have to thread his legs through gets left in a cupboard. Here is what we publish, so you can check it against anything else you are looking at.

Three things decide whether a harness actually works
Wide webbing across the sternum spreads his weight instead of concentrating it. Narrow straps bruise, and a dog that has been hurt by a harness will not let you put it back on.
Front and rear, positioned so you lift standing upright. A single centre handle tips him forward and wrecks your lower back over a few weeks of stairs.
It fastens around him rather than making him step through. On a stiff morning, that is the difference between a harness you use and one you gave up on.
Try it on him. Worn is fine.
Fit is the whole problem with mobility gear, and you cannot judge it from a photograph. Put it on him, walk him to the car, see whether he tolerates it. If it is wrong, tell us within 7 days and we swap the size free or refund you, we do not ask for it unworn, because that would make the promise meaningless.
[ONE PARAGRAPH — who Hadley was, the morning you first had to lift her, and what you could not find when you went looking.]
[SECOND PARAGRAPH — what you check before anything ships, and the promise you are making. Keep it plain. No mission-statement language.]
We opened in [MONTH YEAR]. We haven't got a wall of reviews yet.
We could have filled this space with five-star quotes nobody wrote. Plenty of shops do. Instead, here is what you can check for yourself before you risk any money on us.
When reviews do come in, they're collected by [REVIEW PLATFORM] from verified orders and published unedited — including the ones that say it did not fit or he would not wear it.
Weight rating, strap widths, padding depth, girth ranges per size. Most listings will not tell you any of it.
[DAYS] days, worn is fine, free size swaps. The promise exists because you have no reason to trust a shop you have never heard of.
Call [PHONE NUMBER] and describe what he is struggling with. If the answer is that he does not need this yet, that is what we will tell you.
[DISCOUNT] off your first order in exchange for an honest review once he has worn it for a fortnight — and we mean honest. A critical review still gets published.

How do I measure him for a harness?
Girth, just behind the front legs at the widest point of the ribcage, with a tape or a piece of string you then measure. Between two sizes, take the larger and tighten the straps. Send us the number and we will confirm it before you order.
Can he wear it all day?
That is what it is designed for — [MATERIAL] padding at the load points, and no hardware against the skin. Take it off overnight and check underneath each day for rubbing, the same as you would a collar.
What if he will not tolerate wearing it?
Some dogs take a week to accept one, and a few never do. Return it within [DAYS] days, worn, and we refund you. We would rather that than have you keep something sitting in a cupboard.
How long does delivery take, and will I be charged anything on arrival?
[DELIVERY TIME] from [US WAREHOUSE STATE], tracked. It ships domestically, so there is no duty, brokerage fee or customs delay — the checkout price is the whole price.
Will this help his arthritis?
We do not make medical claims. A harness helps you support his weight; it does not treat what is causing the weakness. If he has declined quickly, that is a conversation for your vet — and worth having before you spend anything here.
Not sure which size, or whether he needs one yet?
Send his breed, weight, girth measurement and what he is struggling with. We answer within [RESPONSE TIME].
