This is a product developed for Molson, a 14 year old beloved Golden Retriever who is suffering with Hip Dysplasia as well as spinal nerve damage.
After trying different supports presently available in the market and finding none giving Molson the security and comfort he needed, the Hip Hammock was born. A prototype was used when going into the surgeon to review Molson's case. After surgery at his age was ruled out the Hip Hammock was shown to the doctor who said it worked great and use it on days he needs it. A year later that prototype had been refined and tested daily with great results.
So right now on Molson's bad days, when his hind quarters start to sink or he starts to fall, the Hip Hammock gently slides on and away he goes.
You will also find that after a couple of days using the Hip Hammock your dog will be walking more upright, have increased energy, be more sure footed (pawed?) and will be stronger because the Hip Hammock allows the dog to relax and not strain to keep standing.
The Hip Hammock gives his joints a rest because he is being gently supported while still allowing the dog to exercise, go for his walk, all the while creating increased blood flow, increased mobility ensuring the muscle mass not waste away from lack of movement, enhancing the quality of your pet's life.
We know there are fancier products out there but the truth is that the Hip Hammock's number one focus in development was the comfort and security of a beloved four-legged member of the family.
You may find other products available but none that cradle your dog's sensitive joints allowing your dog to relax onto the Hip Hammock in pillowed support. At the same time it blankets the sensitive area allowing the dog's body heat to help keep the joints warm for greater flexibility. The soft handle ensures that nothing cuts into your hand when the dog needs more support and you carry more of your dog's weight.
