How do I size this harness for my dog?

Measure your dog's chest girth and match it to the size chart, since the listed range is about 21 to 23 inches. Owners often report it runs small, so size up if your dog is near the top of a range.

Is this harness good for dogs that pull?

It is a back-clip harness, so it does not stop pulling the way a front-clip harness can. It does keep pressure off the throat, which helps small dogs that tug.

Can my dog slip out of it?

The step-in vest wraps the chest and fastens at the back, which holds most small dogs securely. A dog that backs out of harnesses may still need a tighter fit or a different style.

Is it machine washable?

The fabric vest can generally be hand washed or washed on a gentle cycle and air dried. Check the care tag and avoid the dryer, which can shrink or damage the padding.

Does it work for puppies?

Yes, it suits puppies and dogs new to harnesses because it goes on without lifting a leg over the head. Recheck the fit as the puppy grows.

What is the difference from a strap harness?

This is a padded vest that covers more of the chest, while strap harnesses are mostly webbing. The vest is softer and easier to step into but less adjustable and less durable.
