PUPPIA International Harness Soft B Vest, Medium, Beige

These are beautifully made and now I am onto my third sizing for my small chihuahua..their sizing is inaccurate as she is only a small thing and these are AWFULLY Small..I now ordered a medium ..we will see but these are so well made- and the buckle is sooooo easy to use and is very secure!

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!

I am a retired Dog Behaviorist & Trainer with 3 German Sheps and a Chihuahua. Chihuahua owners know that most Chihuahuas have very soft tracheas and choke SO easily. This is one of the very few harnesses my little guy can wear that does not EVER choke him. It is comfortable for him, he actually puts his little front feet into it very enthusiastically, he couldn't slip out of it even if he tried, it's very nicely made and quite sporty looking! I loved his so much that I just bought a pink one for my German Shepherd puppy. Once again, it's a hit! Fits her perfect (for now, lol). I'll be upsizing, as she is growing like a weed, but I just can't say enough good things about this harness! I'm definitely sold on it, paws down! ARF! :)

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.

Harness is well made, providing good restraining points.However, as chest diameter fits per the product size guide - Medium, (Our miniature pinscher has a broad chest with small neck), so the product neck sizing would indicate the dog needing a -small- size. Thus the medium was chosen v.s. the small size. Consequently the harness is a little tight around the neck, but not uncomfortably so.Finding a perfect for for a miniature pinscher is challenging as most harnesses we have tested either do not fit well in the chest or the neck.

This is the perfect harness. I have had trouble finding the perfect harness because my dogs are 16 and have a lot of arthritis. One of my dogs has her arthritis on her right shoulder and most of the harnesses rub across that area making them painful for her. This one goes up enough on the arm that it doesn't bother her right shoulder. Also, most harnesses slip to the right and left, and I'm constantly having to pull the leash right and left which makes my dog think I'm asking her to go right or left. This one doesn't slip, making this comfortable for ME as well! It makes walking them much more enjoyable because it is extremely irritating to have to pull right or left - and you don't have to with these. One more thing, if you put a sweater on your dog, the ring is at the top, not at the back, which makes it so much better. The size is pretty accurate. I love this harness!

Just too big for my 6lb dog.

Me gusta este arnes porque es muy sencillo y rapido de poner y sobre todo, que sostiene al perro del pecho y no del cuello por lo que evita que se lastime.Muy recomendable.

Sehr schöne Weste passt wunderbar

Ormai il mio cane indossa solo Puppia

Es la segunda vez que los compro. Tienen larga durabilidad
