Hoisting Leg Straps for paws support

The Vartoviy K9 hoisting leg straps are designed for safely lifting and evacuating working dogs in tactical and rescue operations when the animal struggles to move on its own.

Quick-release Fastex buckles free the dog in about 2 seconds, and cuff girth adjustment over 30–180 mm fits the system to any build. The outer layer is durable Cordura 500D, the lining is hypoallergenic neoprene, and each cuff has 3M reflective inserts. Price 2 000 ₴, 18-month warranty, an 18×12 cm storage pouch included. Delivery across Ukraine and to the EU.
