Watch a Dachshund with Intervertebral Disc Disease / IVDD rehabbing after surgery using a Mini GingerLead Dog Support Sling. GingerLead has helped many dogs with IVDD regain their mobility.
Buckle the sling around your dog’s belly using the side-squeeze buckle.
Adjust the sling to fit snuggly around your dog’s waist.Slide the neoprene pad to a comfortable position.
Attach the leash with snap hook to your dog’s chest harness.*
Adjust the straps to the appropriate height using the silver metal slider.Slide neoprene handle to a desirable position.
Gently lift and begin walking. Use commands your dog is familiar with and provide positive reinforcement. Use treats if needed to encourage your dog.
*The Mini GingerLead may be attached to a dog’s chest harness, collar, or to itself, however, for the Mini size, we recommend using a chest harness so a dog is not accidentally lifted off the ground by their neck.
