Frequently Asked Questions
Should I size up if my dog is between two harness sizes?
Usually yes. A harness that is slightly too small can pinch the shoulders or chest. If your dog's measurements sit near the top of a size band, choose the larger size and then tighten the adjustment straps.
Is chest girth or weight more important?
Chest girth is usually the most important measurement because it determines how the harness sits on the body. Weight is still useful as a safety check, especially for broader dogs with a deep chest.
What is the difference between training and secure fit styles?
Training and no-pull harnesses often need a slightly different tension profile so the dog can move comfortably while you still keep control. A secure fit style adds a little more room allowance for dogs that tend to wriggle out.
Do puppies need harness sizes updated often?
Yes. Puppies can change size quickly. Recheck the chest and neck measurements whenever the harness starts to feel tight or the straps hit their limit.
