Fitting your dog to the Best Friend Mobility®
The two sidearms of the frame should be a couple of inches above the top and parallel to the
dog’s back. However, the height may vary depending on your dog’s build (shoulders being
lower than the hips). When the position of the harnesses, according to your dog’s length, is set
properly to the sidearms, the front legs should, in no way, rub against the sidearms while your
dog is walking.
The front harness should be placed confortably behind your dogs front legs and the rear legs
should be adjusted for a comfortable fi t. Do not raise at an angle which is too unnatural for
your dog.
Make sure to place the front strap to sit slightly above center of the chest. Do not allow it to
press against the throat or rest below the center of the chest as it may be harmful to you rpet.
Adjust all the straps to be snug but do not overtighten.
Also, check your dog’s weight balance and height to see if the Best Friend Mobility® is suitable
for him or her to use (
