Ease your dog's aching joints and reduce back strain with this handy pet carrier. Ideal for aging or arthritic pets, the convenient lift lets you safely carry your dog in and out of vehicles, up stairs or onto his favorite chair with ease. Machine wash polyester. This can also be used to hold a dog while cutting their toe nails or administering eye drops or cleaning their ears with the aid of a grooming table with an arm or a way to hook the straps. There are two straps that are not shown which snap around your dog prior to lifting to assure that they stay in place.
