    Orthopets.co.uk do an excellent "HelpEmUp" harness, and Ruffwear.co.uk do harnesses that may be suitable. I think Id go with the Orthopets as its specifically for disability.

    Is it to support him/take the weight off his back legs as he walks? If so I wouldn't recommend the ruff wear harness - I a webmaster and (imo) the handle is in the wrong place for that and it's not a great handle anyways. I actually bought it years ago after one of Bailey's operations but ended up not using it. A towel would do the job or mikki do a support harness that I've seen in some of the pet shops - either pet world or pet mania?
