An idea for a very cheap solution to harness. We have had giant breeds with back leg issues. We would put an old belt of my husband's around their middle. They just always wore it. Same color as dog, hardly noticeable. Wider better for large dogs and snug enough they can urinate without hitting it. But we used this for a handle to help them up. But they could walk after that. We now have a Pyrenees wearing one.

My Samoyed, Zeke, wears Solvit support harness. It helps us lift him up and down stairs and does not seem to hurt him. We had to go with a size smaller than recommended for his weight.
I have been looking for a cure for his DM which he has had symptoms of for at least 6 months now. He has had ACV and a variety of other supplements for years . Since the DM, he has laser therapy weekly but I am not so sure it is helping any. He was 14 last June so I guess I should be thank-full he has been with us this long.

Our vet recommended "help-em-up harness". We like the quality, cushioning support and two-handle option (that can be separated). http://helpemup.com/
