More help for the moments that get harder.
Designed to give you extra support when your dog needs help getting up, climbing stairs, getting into the car, or moving around outside.
Getting up
When standing from the floor becomes harder, the handles give you a more controlled way to help.
Stairs
Give your dog extra support when stairs become a challenge.
Getting into the car
Help guide your dog into the car without relying on an awkward under-the-belly lift.
Outdoor walks
Extra support for those moments when your dog needs a little help on the move.
And lifting a 70 lb dog under the belly isn't exactly easy on your back, either.
Two supports. Two handles. You lift, they walk.
The front piece supports the chest. The rear piece supports the hips. Hold the back handles and give your dog as much help as they need.
-
Support the front
The front section supports your dog's chest.
-
Support the rear
The rear section supports your dog's hips and gives you a handle to help lift.
-
Lift with both hands
Use the back handles to give your dog the support they need through the moment.
A harness designed around lifting.
Your dog doesn't always need to be carried. Sometimes they just need a little help getting up, moving through a difficult spot, or getting where they're going.

Our story
Made for the moments when your dog needs a little more help.
We created this harness around a simple problem: helping a bigger dog when getting up, climbing stairs, getting into the car, or moving around becomes harder.
Tandem Hound started with a question every big-dog owner faces sooner or later: how do I help my dog up without hurting either of us? We read through the reviews of the lifting harnesses already out there, and the same complaints kept coming up: buckles that don't feel secure, harnesses that are hard to put on, and sizing that doesn't suit big dogs. So we designed ours around those three problems. We're a small company, and before we sell a single harness, we test it on a real dog.

Questions, answered.
Size & fit
Start with your dog's weight: M fits 45–65 lb, L 65–85 lb and XL 80–100 lb. Not sure? Use “Find my dog's size” at the top of the page.
Sizes overlap at 80–85 lb. We'll add the final fit rule after testing on real dogs. If the size you choose doesn't fit, we'll exchange it once for free.
