My 13 year old Golden lab mix was having trouble getting up from laying down, walking and doing stairs. He had a torn ACL and at his age we did not wish to repair it surgically. We would have to use a lift to help him up the stairs at night. He was gaining weight from in activity, getting very weak and his quality of life was really suffering. I tried yoga matts and other braces and nothing seemed to help. I stumbled upon the Lucky and Loyal brace while looking for braces one night and decided to give it a chance after reading reviews.
He took to the brace right away with no problems and it was easy to put on and take off. He wore it all day long and then we took it off at night.
With in a week he was getting so much stronger that he could get up and do a few stairs without the vest! Within 3 weeks he went from being able to walk a block to happily walking a mile! This brace is amazing and is worth every penny.
Unfortunately, Dilbert had a tragic GI event and passed away shortly after starting to use this (totally unrelated to the brace!). I don't regret it though as his last few weeks he was so happy being able to get up and walk again. I have no doubt that with time he would have gotten even stronger. I highly recommend this brace for any dog that has leg issues.

So far so good!
We have a 10yr St Bernard who was unfortunately loosing her rear leg's ability to stand and walk due to severe arthritis. She could barely lift her rear legs and would drag them on the ground when she had the strength to move. We started using steroids alongside the dynamic support vest and bracing sleeves in hopes that anything would work. She has made a complete recovery and is walking again! She's even able to completely lift her feet off the ground without dragging them at all.
When we get the vest and brace out and put it on her she gets so excited and zooms around, as much as a 10yr old St Bernard can. She's excited to go on walks again. Thank you L.L. for giving her a chance to be the dog she knows she is.
