My old dog has hip issues. What harness offers best comfort and support?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Belgian Shepherd | Female | spayed | 14 years and 5 months old

My dog is old now and has hip issues that require we help her up. I'm looking into harnesses to make both our lives easier but am not sure which style would be more comfortable and less damaging. I can only get a few styles in my country (attaching pics) and they all look painful to me. Which of these would be best? Or would any or none be a good choice? Would one wrapping around her legs be better than one wrapping around her belly? Thanks!

Unfortunately pictures aren't loading right now, and our tech team is working on it. The Help 'Em Up harness is my favorite in its comfort for the dog and its usefulness for the human. https://helpemup.com A GingerLead is helpful for temporary use.
