Harness for both walking and lifting

[Polestar50]

Apologies if this is a regular topic here. I've had a search and couldn't find anything.

My collie cross is getting on a little. Still very active but needs a bit of a boost to jump in and out of the car boot.

She currently wears a perfect fit harness which is fine for walking but not for lifting.

I don't need a full body, proper lifting harness just something that would be comfortable to give her a little hand up when needed. I'm thinking something with a handle and that has two straps under body so not all pressure is in one place.

She's quite barrel/deep chested if that makes a difference.

I have considered a ramp but I don't think she needs it quite yet. I also need to carry a buggy and the crate in the back of the car so there's currently not a lot of room!

I'll be very grateful for any recommendations! Many thanks.

Ruffwear do a couple of different types with multiple straps and handles .

I’ve just checked and Indi dog seem to be taking orders again so it may be worth getting in touch with them and seeing if they could custom make you a handle to fit a Houdini harness .

My dog has a halti harness that has a handle on it , it's quite handy

Ive just bought a Help em up Harness for my dog- haven't used it yet but mainly bought for getting in and out of the car at the moment. May be more than you need though.

flagline if your dog has ok shoulders and does not need a lot of lifting over and up things

we use this one in seach and rescue and is better at spreading the load than the flagline also a bit sturdier in my opinion and a bit cheaper

We use a 3 peaks harness. It has a comfy padded 'I' shaped chest piece and decent handle on top. I've used it to pull my dog out the river before when she couldn't get her footing to get out

Thanks everyone!
That's giving me a good few to have a look out. The Ruffwear ones in particular look just what I was hoping for
