Product Use & Safety

Helping Hand Hammocks products are designed to provide additional support and assistance when handling animals. Working with horses, livestock, and other animals involves inherent risks, and no animal-handling product can eliminate those risks.

Please use good judgment and appropriate animal-handling practices at all times.

Inspect Before Every Use

Before each use, inspect the entire product, including the material, seams, stitching, handles, and other components.

Do not use the product if you notice fraying, tears, damaged stitching, weakened material, damaged handles, excessive wear, or any other condition that could affect the integrity of the product.

Discontinue use immediately if damage occurs during use.

Always Supervise Animals

Never leave an animal unattended while using a Helping Hand Hammock.

Animals may react unpredictably, particularly when frightened, injured, young, unfamiliar with handling, or under stress. The person using the product is responsible for determining whether its use is appropriate for the individual animal and situation.

Intended Use

Helping Hand Hammocks are intended to serve as an animal handling and support aid. They should not be used as a substitute for appropriate restraint equipment, veterinary treatment, professional animal-handling assistance, or emergency veterinary care when those services are needed.

Do not alter or modify the product.

Use the product only in a manner appropriate for its design and intended purpose.

Animal Damage

Do not allow animals to chew, bite, paw, kick, drag, or play with the product. Damage caused by an animal can weaken the material or stitching and make the product unsafe for continued use.

If an animal damages the product, discontinue use and carefully inspect it before considering any future use.

Know Your Animal

The behavior, size, strength, health, temperament, and physical condition of animals can vary significantly. Helping Hand Hammocks cannot anticipate or control an animal's behavior.

Users should exercise appropriate judgment based on their own experience and seek assistance from a veterinarian or qualified animal professional when necessary.

Assumption of Risk

By using a Helping Hand Hammocks product, the user acknowledges that handling animals carries inherent risks, including the possibility of injury to animals and people.

Always prioritize the safety of yourself, the animal, and others nearby.
