How A Towel Can Be Used For Sling Walking A Dog

April 30, 2018 by PetRescueMomma Leave a Comment

How an ordinary towel can be used for sling walking an injured dog.

 

In a previous blog post we shared with readers tips about how a towel can be used for sling walking a dog. The technique is called “towel walking” and it is a gentle way to give support to lift and move a dog with a mobility problem, an injury or a dog recovering from surgery.

We had such a great response to the first article that I decided to revisit the subject and give you more information about the many ways an ordinary bath towel can be used as the perfect temporary dog sling.   [Read more…]

Dog Towel Walking

November 7, 2014 by PetRescueMomma 5 Comments

Dog towel walking is an easy technique owners of paralyzed or immobile dogs should learn. It allows you to lift your dog comfortably and move them around without injuring them.  It doesn’t replace a lifting sling or rear harness, but it’s great in a pinch if you can’t get to your regular equipment. Dog towel walking is also a good tool for arthritic dogs and dogs recovering from surgery.

I found the perfect video that demonstrates the concept of dog towel walking.

Towel walking can be made from any bath towel that is large enough and strong enough to support your dog’s weight.  While your dog is lying down place the middle section of the towel in front of your dog’s back legs and let the ends lay flat on either side. Make sure you have enough material on each side to pull together. Gently bring the two ends of the towel together to create a sling.

Have you ever used the dog towel walking technique for your immobile pet?
