PUPPIA International Harness Soft B Vest, Large, Yellow

I bought this harness in size medium for my 10 pound mini dachshund puppy and it fits well. It is a little bit loose around the neck area but she'll grow into it. Her chest is around 14inches and her neck is 9.5inches. Since the velcro part is adjustable, I can put the harness over her sweater and her jacket.I tried many other harnesses before deciding that this one is the easiest one to use, and the most comfortable for my pup. The other harnesses were very hard to close/open the clasp and difficult to put on my dog since it had to go over her head.Some other harnesses I used seemed to choke my dog or hurt her throat when she pulled on the leash but this one does not seem to hurt her at all. If you are worried about your dog being able to escape the harness, as long as you get the right size, it shouldn't be a problem. However, if the harness is a little loose, your dog may be able to back out of the harness.I don't think I am going to ever use a different harness again! I have been using this harness for about 3 months now and it has gotten a bit dirty but it is still holding up very well and the velcro has not worn out at all. I definitely recommend this harness for puppies and dachshunds. It is a little more expensive than some other harnesses found on amazon but it is definitely worth it.

The soft vest harness is well-made and appears very comfortable and durable. The large size was too big and bulky for my 11 pound poodle, but the customer service was excellent and refunded my money. My poodle has a very slender build (chest diameter of 16.5 inches), so the size that would best fit an 11 pound dog of another breed might well be the large size. You might have to do as I did and get one of each size to see what fits the best. Be advised that the jump from the medium size to the large is appreciable: it's not just the diffence in chest diameter the harness will accomodate - the hardware is considerably larger and more heavy duty on the large harness. It would be ideal if there was a size between the medium and the large, but the medium was barely able to fit my poodle comfortably because the fabric is a little stretchy and not stiff at all. The corresponding size to a medium in this vest style to the style of Puppia soft harness that has a fixed neck opening is a size small. The hardware goes from dainty to larger when you go from the small to the medium in the style with the fixed neck opening. This vest style is slightly more involved to put on than the style with the fixed neck opening, but I prefer it for my poodle because she pulls when she sees a person or another dog. When she pulls, the vest harness doesn't put any pressure at all on her trachea area whereas the one with the fixed neck opening does a little. Granted, had I gone with the medium rather than the small in the fixed neck opening style, that may not have been an issue. Another reason I prefer the vest harness over the other is that it seems a little more comfortable. Also, since it's a little vest, it gives my poodle a bit of warmth in a cool house and I feel good about leaving it on her all day. I love Puppia's Soft Vest Harness so well that I really, REALLY wish it came in "designer" colors and little frilly designs, too! The Puppia soft harness with the fixed neck opening has some absolutely adorable versions! I'm impressed with the look, quality, and comfort of the Puppia vests. Now that I know my dog's size, I'll order a couple of different colors in the soft vest style and hope for some new, frilly versions in the near future!

It fits well and does not choke

No other body harness is soft and sturdy like this one. Only one clip on top. Comfort while on road trips important. No hard clips on sides or bottom of harness to cause discomfort while lying down or sleeping. The only negative is no adjusting strap across shoulders. If you have a deep chested breed be aware of this limitation.

This harness in XL fits my 17 pound rat terrier (12 inch neck, 21.5 inch chest) almost perfectly. My dog is kind of oddly proportioned so I've had trouble finding a harness that fits him well enough to be escape-proof, and this is the best I have found yet. This harness gives me full control of my dog without putting any pressure on his neck/throat which is important to me since collapsed trachea is somewhat common in his breed. The main reason I am giving this product four stars instead of five is that I had a difficult time choosing a size based on the description and the fact that I kept second-guessing myself for buying an "XL" harness for a little dog, but thankfully I ended up choosing the correct size. I would say that it is more important to rely on the measurement of your dog's chest when choosing a size. The chest of this harness is much more fitted than the neck area, and at least in my experience, the harness will still fit securely even if the neck area appears to be a little loose. The fabric is stretchy and breathable, and the velcro and buckle closure makes it easy to put this on your dog and does a great job of keeping the harness securely on in place. So far it has been holding up well after a few months of use, and my dog seems more comfortable in this than in his last harness plus it also looks much cuter on him other harnesses we have tried in the past.

I like this vest. I started with the XS for my 2-4 lb mini dachshund puppy and she outgrew it. The reviews scared me about sizing but I figured what the heck, I can return it if the next size is too small, but it is perfect. The small fits her great at 5 lbs and the measurements on their chart actually do work for her. I like to leave it on during the day so it is easier to go out a lot during housetraining. I also use a narrow lightweight house leash much of the time for potty training to keep her near me, so this vest is very comfortable for her to have on.

Easy to put on. Nice color choices. Fits great.

Una compra excelente.

Beautifully made. Strong and durable.

Wir hatten das gleiche Hundegeschirr in kleinerer Größe geschenkt bekommen, da jetzt aber unser Malteser gewachsen ist musste ein neues her. Wir haben in einem Laden andere angeschaut, viele waren teurer und viel unbequemer. Das gute an diesem ist die Polsterung und die Leinenanbringung ist mit Metallringen und nicht billiges Plastik wie bei mancher Konkurrenz. Wir sind sehr zufrieden damit.
