Our take on the The Hoistabout Lifting Aid

The Hoistabout is a rear-support sling for dogs and cats with weak hind legs, arthritis, hip dysplasia, knee injuries or recovery from surgery. It is a band of soft Sherpa fleece that goes under the belly and hips, with fixed handles you hold to take weight off the back end. It suits owners who need quick, repeated lifts for stairs, cars and couches rather than a full-body harness. Against wheeled carts and full lifting harnesses it is simpler and faster to put on, but it gives support only while you hold it, and the handles do not adjust.

Best forOwners of senior dogs with weakening back legsDogs recovering from knee or hip surgeryShort trips up stairs, into cars and onto couchesCats and small dogs as well as large dogs
Pros
  • Soft Sherpa fleece band is gentle under the belly and hips
  • Fast to put on for quick lifts on the go
  • Fixed handles give a stable grip for taking weight off the hind end
  • Works for dogs and cats across a wide size range
  • Useful for stairs, vehicles and furniture at home or out
Cons
  • Handles are not adjustable, so fit depends on picking the right size

  • Rear-only support does not help front-leg weakness
  • Handle length differs by size, which can suit some owners' height poorly

About the The Hoistabout Lifting Aid

The Hoistabout Lifting Aid is a quick-lift sling that supports a dog's hind legs and hips. It is meant for pets with weakening back legs, arthritis, hip dysplasia, knee injuries, IVDD, or other mobility issues, and for recovery from surgery.

The sling is made of soft Sherpa fleece. It goes on quickly and gives balance, stability and lift assistance to large dogs, small dogs and cats.

Use it to help a pet move around the home, go for walks, or manage stairs, cars, couches and other elevated spots. The handles are not adjustable for safety reasons. Each size has a set handle length.

Questions and answers

What does the Hoistabout do that a regular harness does not?
It puts a fleece band under the belly and hips so you can lift the hind end by the handles. A regular walking harness spreads load over the body but gives you no handle to take weight off the back legs.
How do I choose between the small, medium and large sizes?
Size sets the handle length: small has 21-inch handles, medium 15-inch and large 12-inch. Match the size to your pet's build and to the handle height that is comfortable for you, since the handles cannot be adjusted.
Can I use it for a dog recovering from knee or hip surgery?
Yes. It is made for hind-leg and hip support during recovery, including surgery, IVDD and arthritis. Use it for controlled lifts and short walks as your vet advises.
Does it work for cats and small dogs?
The maker says it offers balance, stability and lift assistance to large dogs, small dogs and cats alike. Pick the size that fits the animal's body and your lifting height.
Is it hands-free?
No. You hold the handles to support the hind end, so it works while you are lifting or walking alongside. It is not a cart or a harness that carries weight on its own.
What is it best used for?
Short, repeated lifts: stairs, getting into a car, onto a couch, and steadying a pet around the home or on walks. It is less suited to long hands-free mobility.
Where is the The Hoistabout Lifting Aid cheapest?
At Walkabout Harnesses, LLC, for $34.95, as of our latest check.
