Littermate Pups Born 7/13/2003
Ginger was adopted with her brother Wilson at 8 weeks old. 2 months later, we noticed Ginger was struggling to keep up with Wilson.
-
Over the next several weeks, Ginger increasingly struggled going up the stairs, and began “bunny hopping” up the steps.
After visiting with a veterinary specialist, we were heartbroken to hear this little puppy had severe hip dysplasia. So Ginger underwent a special surgery for puppies called a Triple Pelvic Osteotomy or TPO on her right hip. We were relieved to find out her surgery went well and get her home, naive to challenges ahead of us.
-
Ginger's Hip Surgery Recovery was Very Challenging
We were instructed to use a towel to support her surgically repaired hip anytime she needed to walk, including out to go potty.
Once the sedation wore off, we could tell she already felt much better and was raring to go! Each day without any exercise, Ginger’s energy level grew exponentially, and she wanted to play with Wilson so badly. She was excited every time she went outside and was hard to control.
Going up and down stairs was especially challenging. Frequently off balance, we were concerned about Ginger's safety as well as our own.
-
Nevertheless, she recovered and was a happy dog again. She enjoyed playing with Wilson, hiking, swimming and all activities dogs love. It was so great to see them playing again.
A couple of years later Ginger started occasionally limping on her “good” leg after playing hard, but would be fine after a few days.
Over time, she started limping more often and seemed to worsen after weeks of inactivity.
-
Ginger Requires Another Orthopedic Surgery
We went back to the hospital to see the orthopedic specialist assuming her other hip or a torn ACL (CCL in dogs) was the problem. We were surprised when she was diagnosed with a luxating patella (more common in small dogs) on her back left knee and surgery was performed once again.
After surgery a sling was provided, which was better than a towel; however, we were still unable to control Ginger. She was much bigger and stronger than after her first surgery. Her front legs were powerful and she frequently wanted to run and jump, or dash down the stairs.
-
It was difficult to give her adequate support and restraint during her recovery, however, this being our second time through surgery, we were determined to make it easier on all of us.
We decided we needed a way to connect the support sling to her collar, preventing her from darting ahead, giving us the control and confidence for a safe recovery.
...and the GingerLead was born!

MEASURING INSTRUCTIONS
|
|
|
---|---|---|
How to MeasureThe Medium / Large Unisex GingerLead is generally for medium to giant breed dogs (Male or Female). Typically fits FEMALE dogs over 45 lbs and MALE dogs over 60 lbs. Support pad is 5.5" wide (at the cutout) x 22.5" long. Straps adjust from 38" - 60" long. For tall, lean dogs, consider the Tall size. |
Pad WidthMeasure from the front of the hind legs, or male genitalia, to the base of the rib cage to determine the support pad width. For barrel chested dogs (i.e. Boxers), downsizing for a narrower pad width is common. NOTE: Support pad holds it shape and does not bunch up. If 5.5" seems too wide, order the Small size. |
Strap LengthMeasure starting where the handle of the GingerLead will rest in your hand (while you are standing upright), continue under your dog’s belly, up the other side, then back to your hand completing the loop. If it measures 37” or less, order the Tall size. |
SIZING CHART
GINGERLEAD STAY ON STRAPS
Stay on Straps are OPTIONAL double sided Velcro strips that cinch the GingerLead straps together allowing the support pad to stay in place when the handle is released. This can be helpful for owners that prefer to leave the GingerLead on their dog giving them independence while going potty, opening a door, etc. Installation required.
*** Stay on Straps are included with Medium, Large and Tall sizes ***

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It’s a tiny bit more cumbersome to initially put on, but works infinitely better in keeping my dog contained and lifted without causing him any pain.
The cutout allows him to go potty without it getting all over the sling (unlike the other models). Which is a HUGE difference (especially hygienically) after surgery. Plus I won’t have to wash it after every walk like the others.
The handle sewn on to the straps make it easier to lift him (as he weighs about the same amount as I do). AND it comes with some Velcro straps that customizes the fit so it secures to his body and he doesn’t just walk out of it.
Best feature other than the cutout is the collar clip. There’s a little metal clip that hooks onto a collar like a leash would which also helps keep your dog contained preventing injury from a slipping sling.
HIGHLY recommend.
This sling has soft corduroy on the inside and a canvas-like material on the outside. It's very well padded, which is great. One of our favorite things about this sling, is that it does NOT slip...either up or down...our dog's chest/belly area. We spent $30 on very thin, flimsy sling here on Amazon that slipped and slid up and down his underside, bunching up (in all the wrong places!). That became not only a nuisance, but dangerous because he would tip forward (his front legs are relatively strong, but since he carries most of the burden there, they get a bit tired) and would come close to falling. This sling stays put!
It is very well made and sturdy. The handles are adjustable and it comes with "stay put" velcro straps (optional to use). It also comes with a shorter piece that is adjustable in order to attach it to both the sling straps and a collar or the sling straps and a chest harness ~ neither of which come with the sling and that is well stated in the description.
This washes and dries very well and the corduroy actually be comes softer, and the overall wearability seems to become even more comfy and easier to use. Think a well worn leash.
The only reason I didn't give this a 5 start review was because of the $65 price tag. I know...I raved about the product. However, I believe the cost could be more affordable...perhaps around the $45-$50 price range. I sincerely would not hesitate to recommend this product for it's functionality.
Update* We got about a week out of this product but hadn’t found it soon enough. Sadly she went downhill fast but I am thankful that while we had it we made her final days easier with this great product. It helped her a lot. And for that I am truly thankful. Now she is leash free and frolicking all over the place like she used to. Thank you for this great product.
