Authentic Puppia Soft Dog Harness, Red - Medium

UPDATE October 2015: Ya know what.... I'm sitting here giggling at my previous review (which I've left intact below the asterisks), because I totally and completely take back what I said about there being no chance in hell that a dog could wiggle out of these harnesses.These harnesses are NOT APPROPRIATE for Miniature Pinschers. Min Pins, lovable yet mischievous and always looking for ways to escape, can wriggle themselves out of these harnesses with ease. I learned this the hard way about 4-5 times. With *both* of my Min Pins. It's a damn shame because its a soft and comfortable harness, but they developed this technique where they stretch out their front legs and just hit the reverse button and slip right out of the harnesses. If your dog is one of those "escape artist" breeds, think twice.***I bought this harness in pink and in sky blue for my miniature pinscher. For some reason these have slight sizing variations, although both were ordered in x-small. The pink one fits my dog perfectly, but the sky blue one is slightly tighter around the neck.In any case, I am very happy with this harness. I know for sure there is no way my dog can wiggle out of it, as agitated as she tends to be. The mesh seems to be pretty comfortable. She never complains about having it on, and sleeps with it. I don't take it off unless it is to wash it or to change colors or just wear a collar. It is well sewn and constructed - doesn't feel cheap at all.In terms of fit, the x-small fits her perfectly. She is a 3.5 month old miniature pinscher, about 10 inches high and 11 inches long.. about 9ish inches around the neck. This fits her snugly and comfortably. Hope that helps any min-pin owners get an idea of size.I definitely recommend this harness for a hyper dog who likes to try and wiggle out of harnesses, cause there is no chance of that happening with this one! It's also very cute.

My 2 year old girl Abbey just had ACL surgery. I needed a harness she could wear almost constantly so that we were not constantly twisting her and putting extra pressure on her back leg while stepping her into a harness. She has worn this harness nearly 24 hours a day for 5 weeks. If you have experienced this kind of surgery with your dog, then you know!! Abbey has long thin legs, and putting her in and out of harness 4 to four times a day would not be acceptable. For this recovery they must remain on a leash at all times when out of their crate, and they spend most of the day in their crate for 6-8 weeks. This has held up incredible well and there is NO chaffing, or rubbing or digging into her. The fabric is so soft and flexible, and yet durable. The strapping is wide and does not twist or bend. She is a farm dog, so she has not really spent much time on the leash so of course she wants to pull a bit! This offers a full support to lessen her ability to pull and does not get bunched up, curled up or rub her to hurt her in any way. I am so thankful we found this the week before her surgery !! This has been a crucial part of her recovery and would be great for just a regular situation as well.

Easy on and off, bought the larger size as my dog grew as I liked it so much

I bought this for our yellow lab that has some type of OCD. It is very nice and very nice quality, but I have one issue why I give it 4 stars. The issue if it really is an issue is the plastic connector. It's attached right to the fabric on the dog’s right side. The quick connector is a little large and when my lab is lying on that side it seems like it could be a tad uncomfortable for her. Just wonder if they could have had the belt part sewed to each side and the quick connector on top somehow. That’s not to take away from the harness, I really like it and would probably give it 4.75 stars with the connector if I could. As for the harness, in the pictures it looked a little big in front but it’s made of a very nice light mesh material and it is very soft. When you get it on the dog I think it’s just right. I bought the XXL size for her neck size, her neck is 21", and the fit perfect. It slipped right on over her head and seemed very comfortable, put one leg through and clicked the belt. I don't think there is a way for her to pull out of it either. It adjusts around her chest nicely. The one thing I notice when it's on, from the front above the "puppia" label to the back of the harness on the bottom of her belly it has a slight sag in the middle like it may be a tad too big, but who cares since I wanted to be sure it fit her neck. Sizing seems right on for the neck if you measure. As for using it, having a dog with OCD, she has to walk the same way, do the same things, and I can NEVER put anything on her, clothing, boots, a thunder jacket, anything, or she just stands there. I think she likes this! Normally you need give a little tug to get her to walk in some direction and if she didn’t want to go her collar would slip off. I walk her fine without a leash, but my mom is a little scared, plus she didn’t want to choke her. With this, I put it on quick and now she gently holds the leash tight and our lab actually keeps her head up and walks without OCD issues. It works well and I laughed when I took it off my lab. I asked her for a review on how she liked it…she actually came back and put her head into it like she wanted it back on, I put it on and then she went to sleep. Lying on her left side :-) Oh the life of a dog...got it made. I would recommend this harness.

I bought it for a yellow lab. It's purfect for him. Fits nice and not hard to put on . Would recommend. It came fast.seems durable. No slipping off. Works great for walking him

small says "9-15 pounds", my dog is 11 pounds and this was way too small to even fit over her head, can't even imagine what an extra small is supposed to fit, this one looked like it would be tight on a five pound dogOtherwise well made but an adjustable neck would be a plus

I ordered a small for my King Charles Cavalier puppy. She weighs 7 lbs and it's still loose around the neck but she will grow more. The body part is adjustable to fit. I have the purple. Very cute!

Great for dog walks

It's comfy, light weight, breathable, durable! Ticks all the boxes.

The fit and colour are perfect

My dog has about five of these harnesses in difference colours - they are great!

It barely fits over my 10 week old mini dachshund but will work for the time we need it for, was hoping he could grow into it a bit more but it works for now, the material is breathable and the body belt is adjustable, overall like it
