Dog & Co Sports Harness, Padded and Reflective, Orange Medium

Product Information

Your chosen harness MUST fit your dog properly. If a harness is too small it can rub against your dog’s skin and cause chafing that becomes deeply uncomfortable for them. The material for this range of vest style harnesses is incredibly soft, ensuring comfort for your dog while they are walking. Julius-K9 is a huge player in the world of canine wear. The company started out supplying harnesses for police and emergency rescue dogs and has applied some of its original designs to a wide range of consumer pooch models. Take the tape measure and use it to measure the broadest part of your dog’s chest – usually the area right behind the armpits. Write down the measurements and the weight of your dog and use it for reference when you are buying the harness. The weight helps to determine the comfort and strength of the harness.

If it’s too big, it’s easy for them to slip out and run off. You’ll need to measure your dog (using our measuring guide below, you’re welcome) and find the size that works for them.

The Julius-K9 leash is designed to be easy to hold, even in wet weather conditions. With its rubberised construction, you won’t lose your grip, it will withstand no end of all-weather walking, and it simply wipes clean. The secure metal carabiner attaches easily to your dog’s harness ring. This reviewer has been using one for over two years in all terrains with no sign of wear and tear. It can also rub against your dog’s skin, chest, and underarms – causing soreness and irritation that worsens over time. If you put the harness on incorrectly it can cause your dog’s gait to become restricted, leading to the muscles becoming tighter. An oversized harness is a huge risk to their safety and runs the risk of them becoming a lost dog – something you definitely don’t want. To Conclude The style of the harness doesn’t just refer to the colours (although I think it’s a pretty important part) but also the type of harness you are going for.

This is an enhanced strength car harness which has been crash tested at a facility using a test procedure for pet safety harness restraint systems, which always maintains safety standards for child restraint systems. Ostensibly designed for active dogs accompanying their owners on long outdoor runs in the countryside, the Hi & Light is constructed from light Ripstop nylon material and features slim nylon straps, a single top-mounted aluminium leash clasp and a sealed Velcro pouch with integral cord for attaching a name tag. The pouch is also big enough to store a few emergency poo bags. You could feasibly use this harness all year round, although you’d be better off also investing in the standard model for winter use. But for the summer months, there really isn’t a better-fitting and more convenient harness than this one.

The lightweight design allows for full range of movement, and the padded chest and leg straps keep your dog comfortable. The fact that this front clip harness comes in five sizes means it’s suitable for small dogs as well as large ones – so anything from a Yorkie to a Husky can benefit. It’s a padded harness, offering additional comfort while you are out and about while also preventing chafing or rubbing. If you have a dog that pulls on the lead every time you go for a walk, consider a front-range harness with a leash ring on the chest strap. These are proven to work wonders at getting a dog to heel. If you have an especially powerful lead-puller then invest in a double-lead balance system such as the Mekuti, reviewed in this roundup. How do I measure my dog for a new harness? Yes. Although we extol the virtues of walking your dog with a harness, a collar is still essential attire for any dog (even when wearing a harness). Aside from being a legal requirement in the UK, a collar also tells others that the dog has an owner and isn’t a stray. A collar also allows you to attach a name tag – extra peace of mind that compliments the mandatory microchip underneath the animal’s skin between the shoulders. This dog harness is perfect for small dogs and features a chest strap as well as belly straps to ensure they are secure and comfortable.
