The Detail
Everything in the box.
A drag bag covers and protects the back legs of a dog who moves by pulling themselves along on their front end. Bare skin on carpet, tile or concrete wears through quickly, and the sores that follow are slow, painful and avoidable.
Who it suits
Dogs with rear leg paralysis or profound weakness who still want to get around indoors under their own steam. Also useful alongside a wheelchair, for the times a dog is out of the frame but still moving about the house.
How it helps
- Protects the back legs, hips and toes from abrasion
- Breathable fabric, so skin underneath stays dry
- Adjustable to fit
- Works alongside a wheelchair rather than replacing it
- Six sizes, extra small through double extra large
What to watch
Check underneath every time it comes off. Dogs who cannot feel their back legs cannot tell you something is rubbing, and a small sore under a drag bag can get established without any signal from your dog at all. Keep it clean and dry, and give the skin time out of it each day.
Getting the size right
Measure rather than guessing, because a loose bag bunches and a tight one restricts. Our measuring guide covers the measurements you need.
If your dog has recently lost use of their back legs, please involve your vet. Some causes of sudden paralysis are treatable, and treatable is time critical.
| Size | Neck | Waist | Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 5.5 to 8.7 in | 8.7 to 13.4 in | 15.4 in |
| S | 7.8 to 10.6 in | 11.8 to 15.7 in | 17.3 in |
| M | 8.7 to 12.6 in | 14.1 to 17.3 in | 22 in |
| L | 11.4 to 15.7 in | 17.3 to 27.6 in | 29.1 in |
| XL | 13.4 to 17.7 in | 22.8 to 34.6 in | 34.3 in |
| XXL | 18.1 to 20.5 in | 28.3 to 41.7 in | 43.3 in |
Waist is the measurement that decides the size. Measure the chest at its widest, just behind the front legs, and the back from the base of the neck to the hind legs while your dog is moving.
Between two sizes? Do not round on your own. Send us the numbers and we will tell you which way to go, because it depends on the product and on whether your dog is likely to gain or lose muscle. Five minutes on email beats a fortnight waiting on an exchange.
