Can this be used on a three legged dog. Kimble is missing one rear leg most of his 13 years.

Do not recommend this model.. Directions are confusing and I know there is a simpler design, but more expensive.

Carla, I would suggest you ask that question of the seller. Personally I don't see why not but just to make sure before you order it you might want to ask the seller. Be sure that your dog isn't too heavy. We found that the chair was not sturdy enough for our Rottweiler.

Hi, my german shepherd Ayla had become paralyzed from waist down. The wheelchair works so that she used her front legs to move and bottom legs were lifted up by strap in back. She loved it and was able to run, unfortunately sometimes she tipped over and that she didn't like. But it helped her independence for a while. She is now deceased. I still have the wheelchair. spiritwindfarm@gmail.com

It depends on where his rear leg is amputated. There must be sufficient upper leg to be able to have the loop hold him into place. Maybe you can post a photo of him?

I have had great success, my puppy is 30 pounds and since you can adjust the degree of stimulation (I use #3) you should be able to use it on a dog as large as 160 pounds, maybe more, it packs a punch, I tried it on my thigh and wow

I use the device on a English Bulldog. I think it would work fine on any dog that size or larger. I don't think weight would make a difference.

I would say it depends on how long legged your dog is. Mine is a cocker spaniel so her tail is snubbed. And I would think as long as you didn't fold it back they shouldn't be able to reach those areas, but it depends on how irritated the dog might be. Hope this helps!

i am using it with a 3 year old, 40 kilos male doberman, and it works fine even when the dog pulls, but you have to make sure the bar that goes attached to the bike and holds the leash it's well fastened to the bike skewer and bike bar.

My dog is a pug/affenpinscher mix. He's 20lb and about 12" at the shoulder and his hind leg is too short. A 6-inch or maybe 5.5 might have been ok. I think these are best for longer leg dogs. Also make sure the knee is the problem, I thought it was my dog's knee and it was his hip. I just had to visit the right vet.

Legor, I will ask the person who uses it more than I, but I haven't heard mention of my Australian Labradoodle doing such a thing.The bike rider says, "I don't know big a dog that is, but I don't think a dog would be able to jump on a bike wheel while attached to this. It is a well made device."

Hello, First I wanted to tell you I sent it back almost as soon as I got it. The reason was that its size is bigger than normal. If you are looking for something to help with hip dysplesia, and your dog is still able to walk, I recommend starting him/her on flexicose plus and take a look at the link I'm including this brace is awesome! http://orthodog.com/

Yes. The harness is a little small for my dogs (all 3 are under 15 pounds), it kind of chokes them. But I've started hooking it on something longer and it works now.

Absolutely , I wouldn't recommend it to any dogs bigger then 6 to 8 pounds. To allow the dog to have a little leg room. 8)

I don't think so....I have a 18 pound standard dachshund and it was a no go for her short legs. This would work for under 10 pounds and a tiny dog.

I don't think you will be disappointed. My dog is only 3 years old and has had bad rear knees and hips. Too much that surgery is not an option. So now she is at least comfortable. Keeping her weight down helps too. I'm in Newport Beach, Ca. So nice to talk to someone half way around the world. It's 83 and sunny here today.

Yes. it can be used with up to 3 collars. The setup is not simple and this collar should not be used on soft dogs.

It might but I'm not sure, my dog is a mini doxie that is 14'lbs and they have very short legs. I don't want to discourage you but for a longer leg dog it might be to small

Yes. I had to google Plot Hound (looks beautiful). I used it for a 144 pound Rottweiler with a very long back. The front part rubs his shoulder and I had to line the back legs with fuzzy socks, but I could not lift him without this harness. It should work fine for your dog once you adjust to his size. I have been using mine for two months and could not get along without this harness! Good luck with your dog.

I would probably be long enough for your dog but I was very unhappy with the product. I have tried it on about 20 different dogs and it only worked on one of them.

Unfortunately I think they can reach his rear area and so they can do it. What I do with my poodle now is. I bought wet suit from something called k9 and sewn another piece and added to wet suit to cover part of his tail. That helps him. Even though he licks the suit he doesn't hurt himself . I know how frustrating it is I hope that will help
