ABSTRACT:
A supporting appliance for animals having a weak back includes a harness for encircling the animal's shoulder, a brace that extends the length of the animal's back and a girth that encircles the animal's body. The brace provides support for the animal's back so that the animal may undertake normal movements otherwise difficult or prevented due to insufficient back strength. Alternately, the brace may be oriented on the halter and girth so that when the appliance is secured to the animal, the brace lies along and provides support for the animal's stomach. A second brace may also be attached to the halter and girth such that when the appliance is secured to the animal, a combination of support to the animal's back and stomach is provided. The appliance may include a plurality of girths or a single girth in the form of a unitary band that extends essentially the length of the animal's back.
